[1]Hello, 2021!
As we start our new year during all that is today, I encourage you to pause for a moment and reflect on these words by Robert Frost, a great American poet.
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.
From The Poetry of Robert Frost by Robert Frost
My hope is that you choose your path this year, to boldly pursuing your dreams.
Think about this today…
“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write the story by setting goals.”
