The Road Not Taken

At time’s in everyone’s life there is a place where we choose a path, only to find that path does not make us happy or the outcome was not what we wanted.

What we learn from our choices is what makes all the difference

Robert Frost wrote a poem called The Road Not Taken written in 1915.

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 took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Mr. Frost was making a the point that this is not a onetime event. There are always forks in the road of life. What we learn from our choices is what makes all the difference. Everyday of our lives we come to “two roads diverged.” Every moment we are standing at a choice point. Life is always requiring us to make choices and life also asks us to learn and grow from our choices, to unravel, reveal and unfold.

Remembering the metaphor of the Road Not Taken, I ask the following questions:

  1. Are you making choices that reflect your essential purpose?
  2. Are you contemplating on the choices you are making every moment of your life?
