Two Roads to Financial Independence by Jesse Kramer of best interest. blog.

Quote, two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made

all the difference. Robert Frost. Most people know Robert Frost's famous poem, the road not

taken, especially the last few lines, which you just heard. And most people interpret the poem as

Frost's choice made all the difference

in a good way. Frost is telling us to break the mold, be different, and create an extraordinary life.

But Frost makes no such claim in the poem. The road less traveled is neither good nor bad.

Frost is not passing any judgment on the path one takes.

Instead, Frost's point is that decisions, like a fork in the road, steer you in a direction that cannot be undone.

And because of that, even a tiny decision can make all the difference, perhaps good, perhaps bad, in your life.

One road leads to another road, then another,

then another. Frost would never again find himself at that particular intersection.

His choice, left or right, led to future disparate decisions, but would never lead back to where

he stood at that moment, to that particular decision.

Quote, yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back, end quote.

In the long run, a simple fork in the road can fundamentally change your life.

This is chaos theory, just like the apocryphal idea of a butterfly's flight in South America

changing the direction of a major hurricane over the Atlantic. Small changes in input can cause

massive shifts in output. Time only moves in one direction. There are no counterfactuals in life.
