Quote by Maya Angelou

Each of us has the right and the responsibility to asses the road which lie ahead and those over which we have traveled, and if the feature road looms ominous or unpromising, and the road back uninviting-inviting, then we need to gather our resolve and carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and the willingness to change direction when necessary. It suggests that we have the right to evaluate our current path and determine if it appears daunting or unfulfilling.

It also encourages us to be open to additional changes if the new choice also proves unsatisfactory. The quote ultimately reminds us of our agency in shaping our own journey and the need to adapt when needed.

Where faith is there is courage, there is fortitude, there is steadfastness and strength... Faith bestows that sublime courage that rises superior to the troubles and disappointments of life, that acknowledges no defeat except as a step to victory; that is strong to endure, patient to wait, and energetic to struggle... Light up, then, the lamp of faith in your heart... It will lead you safely through the mists of doubt and the black darkness of despair; along the narrow, thorny ways of sickness and sorrow, and over the treacherous places of temptation and uncertainty.
