Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
--Robert Frost
Choosing the less traditional path is far from easy for most people. Conventional wisdom advises against it. Loved ones generally do too. If you’re struggling to make this choice, there are some questions you’ll need to consider.
What’s keeping you from pursuing your dream?
What will your life be like if you don’t pursue it?
What will your life be like if you do, and you succeed?
Which life do you choose?
