Choose Your Own Way

Two paths diverged into the woods, some choose the easier path. I followed my heart and chose to go straight. It was a treacherous path and made me the best I could be. I’m glad I chose the harder way, It was the right choice for me. I hope that you will chose as well, Blazing a trail only you can travel.

The easier path is chosen by most ! But those who choose a path harder may blaze a trail for other's to travel ! When roads converge, choosing the right path is often confusing ! But if there is wisdom and the grace of God, one will be able to opt for the right path. You are blessed Bill ! Love and hugs !

The best way "I followed my heart and chose to go straight." - the very best way!

Shades of Robert Frost's, 'The Road Not Taken.' Kudos, Gershon

Thanks, Gershon, for the reference to "Frost". I've read that one many times and have a volume of Frost's poetry on one of my bookshelves here in my home office. I did use the ideal or a "shade" of it. as you mentioned. :-) Have a great week! Bill

the paths we choose throughout our lives shape us in sometimes the subtlest ways. Hats off to you, Bill, for blazing the trail you did. It hasn't been easy. You're courageous and a better man than most people take the time to see. :-)

Good Morning Bill - Hi. I love the title. May we all choose our own way with hope that our decision and way is positive good and not harmful. Thank you for the reminder to choose the right path and not give in to temptation to any addiction out there in the universe because there are many. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings

We all should follow the lead of the spirit within. Seldom is the way of the crowd or masses, the best way for an individual. Kind of like in "Star Trek" ... do no harm to any other. Smiles ~ Blessing, Bill
