"Finding one's direction in life" and "embracing the unknown" are both good options. The other two you can go ahead and rule out because "following the crowd" is exactly what "The Road Not Taken" advises against. Both of the poems contain themes about discovering one's identity and paving one's own, individual path through the world. I hope this helps.
