In a few months, I will be hitting the big "30"
This is a big milestone for me.
I have been evaluating my life, decisions and actions that I have taken in my almost 30yrs in this world.
I am proud of many, and regretful of some.
Since there is no manual on how to live; and there is no prewritten definition of my life, I have to accept all that has happened to me.
As I grow older, I feel as if I am getting wiser.
Decisions and actions that I would have taken a few years ago no longer take priority in my life.
I am about to make another decision which will probably change my life (hopefully for the better), it is a decision that I will have to live with (everyday) for at least two years.
It is a decision that many would not make at this age but I feel it is appropriate for me.
There are some missing links in my life and I feel that this decision will guarantee some of them and at least initiate the process for others.
As Frost's poem says: "Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back." This decision is a life-changer and I am sure I will never come back to the point that I am in. And by God's grace I hope that this decision will make all the difference.
Here is Frost's poem 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
All the best! Sounds like one major decision.
