I am originally from a small rural town in Georgia and my vision has always been to give back to the community from which I came. I want to reach back and assist as many people as I possibly can in reaching their goals or just connecting them with resources and information that will make their lives easier. I want to help our youth create and execute a successful plan for their futures.
For a number of years, I have had a vision to bring my family and friends together to create a business that we can build from the ground up. Each one of us are at a point in our lives where we would like to venture out and try something new. We have different skills, interests, and abilities. Why not think outside the box?
Today, my co-worker, told me that if my vision is one that is near and dear to my heart and if God keeps bringing it to the forefront, then it is time that I take that vision, create a plan, and put it into action. The following poem is one of my favorites and will be the catalyst to my family's success.
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
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.
