"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

"And both that morning equally lay
In Leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back." (Frost 633 11-15)

To me these lines are symbolic of choosing a path and never looking back. By path, I don't mean literally the type you walk on. What I mean is making a choice, knowing that it will change things for you forever and continuing on that path, knowing you could have chosen differently, but didn't.
In the last line of the poem "And that has made all the difference." (20), what difference did it make? It sounds positive to me, but I wonder if it's possible that the choice wasn't a good one. It would still make a difference, as all choices do-but in what way?
I have always loved this poem because of what it means to me: I do things my own way-I don't follow what everyone else is doing just because the road is better traveled.
