按部就班

As a young woman, I believe that life would be interesting and always exciting.

身为年轻的女性， 我相信生活应该是有趣且永远刺激的。

Then, one day I found myself in a job I didn't like

有一天，我发现我并不喜欢现在的工作，

and doing activities that I found very uninteresting and unexciting.

所有活动变得无趣且不刺激。

Instead of making a life for me, I took what came to me.

我任人摆布，没有自己的生活。

I decided I need a change, but change seemed so scary.

我决定我需要改变，可是改变似乎很可怕，

I wasn't sure of the course of action I needed to take to make the changes I wanted,

我不确定需要采取哪些行动，才能得到我要的改变。

and that frightened me. I had an end goal in my mind, but I didn't know how to get there.

这点使我很害怕。在我心中有个终极目标，可是我不知道该如何达成。

One day, I took the first step, and when I did, I found I asked all the right questions.

有天我踏出第一步，当我这么做时，我发觉我提出了所有适当的问题，

Once my question were answered, the next step always appeared. When something challenging happened,

等到所有问题获得解答，下一步总是会出现。

I didn't procrastinate. I just broke the problem down into parts.

遇到挑战时，我不会拖延，我将问题分成好几部分。

Before I began taking steps, my ideas seemed imposssible,

在我开始采取行动前，我的想法似乎是不可能的，

but it was actually very easy to make changes once I started!

可是当我一旦开始，要改变其实是件很容易的事！
