The Space Between (Part 2).

The space between creativity and something new being crafted is me.

The space between me and you is compassion.

The space between compassion and awareness is empathy.

The space between empathy and action is love.

And that is the space that changes the world.

I’ve connected quite a few dots since Part 1.

Still going…

My readings this year have renewed my passion for seeing the unseen, finding out what has made the difference in people’s lives, and discovering more and more ways to make the music of our lives.

In case, you’re new here…this is what I’m after…http://ashtongustafson.com/ltmp

And I’m still going.

Hopefully you are too.

PS – LTMP Podcast has been such a joy. We’d love for you to join us.

‘it’

It is going to take longer than you expected it would take.

It won’t happen on its own.

It will change a lot over time…and it won’t be what you originally thought it was going to be.

But it will be worth it…

As long as you stick with it.

“Youniche”

When you finally find yourself and start to live out and through this integrity you will have just found your niche.

This should settle some of the confusion around the topic of choosing one’s vocation.
