This is a poem by Robert Frost:
"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."

Have you taken the road less traveled by in your life? Has it made all the difference?

I love this poem. Everytime I come across the two different roads, I always think and keep in mind that whatever path I choose, it's for the best. And I can only assume that is has made all the difference.

I have taken both roads and I'm here to say that taking the road less traveled makes a huge difference in my life...=)

I have, and it can sometimes be bumpy and lonely, but I feel it's made me the person I am today. It's easy to be a follower and take the nice paved road that was laid out before you, but I think it's so important for people to take their own, "less traveled" road to find out who they really are and what they really want out of life.

I think we all want to believe we have taken the road less traveled.
I know that I think that.While we will never know what the difference has been, it does make for some interesting thoughts as we go about our daily lives. The key is to be happy with who you are and be able to accept your shortcomings.Only then can we truly be happy with others.

No, since God did not create people originally so that they would make mistakes. There are very poor choices being made every day by people, not necessarily "mistakes." People are here on earth to love, worship, and serve God.

I turned around and went the other way to get a map.
