Humility

We are all born with different cards in our hands and raised under various conditions.

For most of us, we have received a tremendous number of gifts!

These may come in the form of being born in a peaceful, wealthy country, or being raised by parents who did their best despite their flaws.

It can also mean having a natural ease with science, language, or physical abilities.

Humility also means taking responsibility—for those who didn’t receive as many gifts as we did.

While it may be difficult to reason with adults whose actions spread hatred or nonsense, what about the millions of innocent children who did nothing wrong?
They were just born…

This, too, is a habit to create.

The habit of believing that by staying humble, we can achieve more—for those who didn’t have the same chances we had.

The habit of remembering that we are one in billions—but that billions are made by adding up each and every one of us.

    “The circle of life,” Gurumin said with a smile, knowing those words would awaken childhood memories in some hearts. “A new generation arrives, and the older one passes on its experience, its knowledge, and its skills.” “Then it becomes their turn to teach, and the cycle continues.” Yet this obvious truth had gradually faded away,…

    Just like Shala, the Shape of Time, the end of the War of Chaos had revealed to the Espers the existence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, born at the moment when the most powerful magics of the Five Great Elements merged and illuminated the entire planet with a new light, which came to be…

    The Corridors of Time

    If Shala, the Shape of Time, had now become one of the Seven Shapes, who had gathered to build a civilization living in harmony with nature and in peace on Esperia, very little was known about her past or her origins. Her mysterious identity made her unique, almost divine, and recalled the ancient beliefs of…

    A Magnificent Humanity?

    Cha Cha, our little platypus companion, gazed once again into the magic mirror at this unknown civilization, which nevertheless had many things in common with that of the Espers. This civilization called itself “magnificent.” But as Cha Cha became more interested in their planet, their history, and their evolution, “magnificent” was not really the word…

    I Can, Therefore I Think

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower, was well known for never mincing her words and often saying aloud what everyone else was only thinking. Like the other Shapes, she had begun applying the principles of One Daily Tale to develop her own StarDust. She therefore had to develop her Water element, connected to Wisdom, and, to…

    Adapting to an Ageing Population

    The use of magic had greatly improved access to healthcare and had, as a result, significantly extended the life expectancy of the Espers in a remarkably short time. The downside was that the Espers did not seem to have considered the consequences such an achievement would bring. The massive increase in population was indeed creating…

    Doing Your Best

    Even though the Seven Shapes had become symbols that helped the Espers develop their StarDust, none of them was perfect. Each had her own strengths and weaknesses, yet each did her best every day to strengthen her qualities and overcome her shortcomings. Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, who seemed to see the world differently from…
