"Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell"

About this Quote

This quote by Ben Harper highlights the importance of making the most out of our limited time in the world. Life is short and unpredictable, so if we want to extend it or leave a long lasting effect, we need to make every effort to do well. It's insufficient to have good intentions; we must likewise act and do kindness. The distinction in between good objectives and kindness is vast, like the distance in between Heaven and Hell. Good objectives may originate from a place of compassion, however it is the actions we take that truly make a difference on the planet. So let us not lose our time on empty objectives, but rather, let us concentrate on doing great and making a positive effect in our brief time here.
