Thank you Fred. I appreciate your kind feedback. On your question, when creating a new post in the Substack editor, go to the line where you wish to insert the “share” and click on the word “button” located on the top right corner of the editor. You will see a drop-down list of the different kind of buttons you can insert. Scroll to the word share and it will insert a share button.
Sometimes I think that contemplation, by itself, is a great way to learn as much about who you are as about existence.
Unfortunately, most people haven’t developed the liking for it, opting instead for outside noise to distract them from inner thoughts.
This is why writing is more effective in getting through to our inner selves. Even if we try to evade the tough subjects of who we are and what our objective is in life they invariably arise.
You said it very well Thomas. Most people prefer noise over peaceful thoughts. Writing does provide that environment to connect with oneself and it is a process that can help answer many questions.
Simple but profound. “” Let your passion for writing develop your need to read; let your need to read drive your urge to learn, and let your urge to learn to dominate your growth in life.” A simple philosophy yet an impactful growth mindset that would transform your life.”
I’ve discovered this lately by picking it up every day.
I can relate to problems which are not more than self-created worries. And cannot survive a journaling process.
Thich Nhat Hanh once said something along these lines: "Who has toothache, can only think at how better would be to live without; however, most of our lives we do not have toothache"!
Thank you Livio, very well said, we often require something else like the toothache analogy to remind us to appreciate the absence of pain. It is the sad reality of life.
Great point "God gave us life so that we might enjoy all things."
🙏
Many thanks Winston for another very thoughtful read.
I don't write as often as you do, but I think I've achieved the right life-balance (for me).
Question (unrelated to any particular topic):
How did you create your 'Share' icon and underlying link?
I'd like to adopt a similar style of end-of-article prompt.
Thanks Winston,
