Two roads diverged in
a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the
difference.
By Robert Frost
This quote has a special meaning which has been shortened to saying
"I took the road less traveled". It means (to me) that we
should not go down the path others chose. We must not go down the path
that is easy. Instead we must forge our way under our own power and
authority. In short we have command over our own destiny and thus we must
make our own decisions on how to move forward in life.
As to the part of the quote where Frost says "that has made all the
difference". It is because Frost was able to mold and shape himself
in a way he wanted. He was not held down by
other people's beliefs and ideas, but instead he made his
own decisions and thus need not regret what he has
done or where he has been as every success and failure was his
and his alone, and thus all was an experience that made Frost a
better person.
So my readers, make your own decisions believe what you want
to believe in. Let no one choose your destiny.
And finally, know that all successes and failures
you experience are yours alone and that they shape you and make
you into a better person. Learn from
those experiences and make yourself into the person you feel you
were destined to be.
