A Quote by Robert Lee Frost on choice, doubt, destiny, and path

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Oh if we were all not affraid to take the road less traveled, I wonder what we would see. How many times in my life I should like to have gone back just a little ways and traveled a different route, and not gone the way of the peer pressure, and traveled my own way. Then I think that I'd have seen alot clearer view. And perhaps been further down the path today, towards the goals I've got set for myself now. Thank God I still have life and can now take that path less traveled.
