Every day we make decisions. Each decision is a Fork in our road of life. We should never regret the choices we have made because we have learned something from each and every experience. Robert Frost expressed this in his most famous poem “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.Picture copyright by Schneider taken from a 2011 WordPress Blog called Living Water.
The path of least resistance?

In my case, no. I tend to take the more difficult path every time. How about you?

Same here, because I’m curious and ambitious and want to explore the UNKNOWN. 🙂

What a coincidence! I also used the same picture for today’s prompt. By the way, the poem is very nice. His poem is perfect for this post.
