The Road Not Taken

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;
5

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,
10

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.
15

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.

Not enough vitamins....

Today, I felt like justice has been robbed from me.

After giving my best to the point of being stretched and being extended in the office, (am I a rubberband or what???) I wasn't promoted. I wasn't good enough, I wasn't ready to be a senior team lead. My manager explained to me that they only needed to promote a certain number of people and I didn't make the cut in the ranking. I guess that's an ominous sign, that no matter what I do, there will be little or no chance for me to go one level higher, There will always be someone out there who is better than me. It's a sign for me to get out of my present company and line of work and venture into a new field, a new life. This is probably God's wake up call for me to stop dwelling in my comfort zone and go out and search for the life God meant for me. Stop being afraid to go out and start trusting God, that He will bring me to places I haven't gone to yet, that He will give me blessings beyond my imagination.
