As I look at this photograph, I think of the many times I've been forced to make decisions in life. Each decision made in your journey of life affects your life in the long run. On an everyday basis us humans, have learned how to decide which choices are better, and what are the consequences of these choices. As the man stood in the woods, deciding, he decided to take the less traveled on path. The man in "The Road Not Taken" took a risk, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”  By the man in this poem taking the one less traveled by, he was making a decision to not follow the crowd. Sometimes being a leader and being the first to do the right thing is difficult.s A lot of times God puts a fork in your path, and he wants to see you obey him and lean on him when held up with decisions. As we all should know, God will never give you anything he doesn’t know you can’t handle, so trust in him and take the path less traveled. When decisions are throw our way, us being humans, stress out, we must always remember to have faith that there is a higher meaning to life and a spiritual destination worth working toward.

I’ve learned that life is never a straight path and that decisions are always having to be made between what path to take.  I’ve made many of good decisions and of course plenty of bad decisions. It’s always helpful to have friends that keep you accountable to your decisions in life. It is also awesome that we have a forgiving God that forgives us when we take the wrong path.
