The road not taken

Robert Frost (1874–1963)
1. The Road Not Taken
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;
(.....)
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.

Recently, I happen to read this piece in two different places.
I feel....I did not really "take"the road. Of course what I did helped shape the path. Though, it's just 一念之差,因緣際會,時勢所趨 (徵翻譯)
