About this Quote

This quote by Douglas Horton is a thought-provoking pointer of the choices we make in life. It recommends that although we might have an objective of reaching a greater location, such as heaven, we often discover ourselves in scenarios that are far from suitable. We may be so concentrated on achieving our objectives that we forget to think about the repercussions of our actions. We might be so excited to reach our location that we hurry into circumstances that are not useful to us. The quote is a tip to take an action back and consider the consequences of our actions before we make decisions that might lead us down a course to hell. It is a suggestion to put in the time to make smart decisions that will lead us to our wanted location.
