This is definitely a common metaphor for life, as that passage from Robert Frost is so often remembered. Going on a path that is unknown to you, encountering new challenges that could benefit or harm you, interactions that could assist you or harm you. but the path you make, the trail you blaze, is yours and yours alone. and it's intimidating and a bit scary, it can also be brave. as Neil Gaiman wrote:
"Because when you're scared and you do it anyway, that's brave"
which is good to remember. because something scarier than change, is the fear of stagnation.
