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. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that one as well.
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. If the road ahead seems uninviting and the possibility of returning to where we started is unappealing, we should gather our determination and venture onto a different path, only carrying what is essential. 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.
