Natural Laziness

This course was designed by Faya, the Shape of Willpower, with the help of the other Shapes. The title was chosen to help the Espers become aware of their own behavior, and Eklea, the Shape of Awareness, was there to remind them of that.

Understanding how their system worked as living beings was the first step toward realizing why it was important to overcome their natural laziness—to make their StarDust shine.

Espers are creatures that try to make the least effort. For anything! That’s where building willpower can help—so that the things that need to be done actually get done.

Faya liked to use the image of a fire when teaching the younger Espers.

“We all have a fire burning inside us. But this fire needs care and attention to stay alive. Unfortunately, we often forget about it.”

“Remember your fire, and it will help you overcome your natural laziness.”

On television, it is the striking messages of advertisements…

    The Espers of the fire element had built a reputation for always fighting, even in the most unfavorable situations. They had naturally understood that this was how their fire element grew. Even if it sometimes seems counterintuitive, having your back against the wall is sometimes simpler; but it is also when we have a choice…

    The question of health is not simple. It must be considered not only from the perspective of an individual, for whom a balanced diet and regular physical exercise are important, but also from the perspective of the group and society, as mental health is often closely connected there. Kenko, the Shape of Health, had fully…

    Are these qualities not those of children? Full of life, joy, and curiosity, they ask questions that many adults have stopped asking. The Espers of the Wind element were certainly the closest to this state of mind. Even as adults, they had often kept their childlike hearts, showing a radiant, authentic, and sincere smile. To…

    Imagine for a moment an ocean of grand beauty, with shimmering waves, golden under the sun and silver beneath the moonlight. These waves come and go, sometimes gently, sometimes more vigorously, yet always in this back-and-forth motion that creates a balance. It was this image that had become present in the minds of the Espers…
