So how then do you go about making those big impact and perpetual decision? How do you evaluate the change in circumstances and determine if they are significant enough to change the outcome of a decision? Often times, you will pray for wisdom and weight the pros and cons of the different sides of your decisions. You will also pray for direction and patiently wait for some sort of divine inspiration. However, I believe sometimes, you just have to make the decision and have faith and trust that the path you choose is the right one for you because even though it is not the correct choice, God will still be able to use you or use the situation to teach you. When you look back in hindsight, you'll see that it is the right path because God made it into the right path. Like in the poem 'The Road not Taken' by Robert Forst, the protagonist only knows the less traveled path made all the differences "somewhere age and ages hences."
The Road not Taken by Robert Forst
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.
Until Next time
