Achieving One’s Goals

When they had begun to reflect on how to rebuild Esperia on healthy foundations, the Seven Shapes had been confronted with many problems.
Thinking about a society living in peace and harmony as a whole is obviously not an easy task!

They had also quickly understood that the decisions they would make, even after consulting the Espers of each element, would often be contested by those who were not yet ready to turn the page, or by others who still did not understand the critical situation in which their existence on their planet stood.

“The first step is to clearly define the directions to reach,” began Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“The Five elements are already the areas to develop at the individual level,” continued Eklea, the Shape of Consciousness.

“We also need objectives at the level of groups of individuals, up to Esperia as a whole…” added Gurumin, the Shape of Empathy.

With clear common goals to reach, young Espers will find their own path more easily and will have more willpower to achieve them,” commented Faya, the Shape of Willpower.

“We have clearly understood that having precise goals and working toward them helps prevent despair despite difficulties, and helps maintain good mental health in situations that sometimes seem destined to fail,” commented Kenko, the Shape of Health.

    To the best of one’s ability

    This chapter of One Daily Tale led at first to many debates among the Espers. Until then, they didn’t know about the StarDust, how to develop it, or how it could help them understand themselves better: the light created by their StarDust would enable them to see their inner Shadow, often hidden deep inside them.

    Excessive drinking and eating

    Kenko, the Shape of Health, knew too well that most of the Espers would not want to hear her words at first. Why? Because she knew that once one has tasted the ease of luxury, of addiction through alcohol, and forgotten the hardship of simply being able to eat every day, it requires far more

    A fast pace of change : Shippu Jinrai

    The End of the Chaos War came when the Five Great Elements used their most powerful spell together, all at once, revealing for the first time in the history of Esperia the existence of the StarDust.

    To act in one’s own favor

    Now that the teachings of One Daily Tale had become the common educational writings for all the Espers of Esperia, following its principles had become evident and natural. But newborn Espers were all born as complete blank pages, shaped by their closest environment. Some Espers who had been very powerful in the past, when Chaos

    Accepting differences

    Now that Esperia was finally at peace, it became natural for the five different Elements to work together and share their knowledge and skills. When they were still at war, they simply couldn’t realize—blinded by hatred and fear of others—the need for the other Elements to sustain their own land. Water, through rivers, lakes, or

    Overconsumption

    Who hasn’t heard the term, but who has really thought about it? Guruko, who was very intrigued by the human race on Earth, was once again looking through the magical mirror at their civilization. “They are quite interesting living beings, aren’t they?” said Cha Cha, her platypus companion, who had just walked into the room

    A short period of power

    What was unprecedented on Esperia was how detached from power and status the founders of One Daily Tale were. The Seven Shapes were mainly symbols of what good behavior toward one’s StarDust could lead to: harmony and peace. They were living examples of what they wrote as guides for everyone, themselves included. In the past,

    Once again, Guruko and her platypus companion Cha Cha were observing human society on Earth. Cha Cha, also known as Simba as his pen name (he wants to become a philosopher-writer!), was thinking about the two different paths that seemed possible for humanity regarding the new technology they were now developing. “Once again, it seems
