Just a Little Time, but Daily

Shala, the Shape of Time, understood better than anyone how powerful habits were for the Espers. To nurture their StarDust, it was important that those habits be as healthy and beneficial to society as possible.

Why?

Because time each day is limited, and the StarDust functions in a special way: a few minutes of daily care are more effective than several hours only once in a while. Sleep, too, is absolutely essential—not only for their mental and physical health, but also because it helps their StarDust shine more brightly.

Once good habits were established, working on the Seven Shapes became second nature, creating a positive cycle that brought harmony and peace to Esperia.

It only required a little time—but that time needed to be taken daily. As habits take a few days to form, bad ones also take a few days to fade.

So, try to remember Shala when you’re building your new healthy habits.

    The Basic Physiological Needs

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves.

    Open your mind

    In Esperia, when the 7 Shapes wrote One Daily Tale, they thought deeply about one aspect that was utterly important: having an open mind. Why? Because it was one of the fundamental keys to creating a world filled with harmony. With an open mind, two seemingly opposite ideas can eventually merge into one. The concept

    To act or not to act

    That is the question. Or more precisely, why should we act—or not? I understand you may be skeptical about trying to do things for other adults, who themselves have the choice to act or not. But children don’t, and it becomes a responsibility—whether we like it or not. We are all born in different places,
