Take the Time

When was the last time you took a moment just for yourself—not doing anything, just a few minutes of simply being?

I know that most of you will reply: “I don’t have time to do that.”

Unfortunately, if you don’t have time for yourself, even just a few minutes a day, no one else can make that time for you.

As with all the 7 Shapes, taking time for yourself is something only you can do.

When you begin to take the time—not only for yourself, but also for the things you do and the moments you spend with your family and friends—you start to enjoy them even more!

Remembering Shala, the Shape of Time, can be helpful: how she smiles at you the most when you live the present moment to its fullest.

If nothing has truly been done in that direction until now, then it is indeed time to…

    In the great library of Esperia, a conference led by Faya, the Shape of Will, was taking place. Vingel, our little Fire dog, happened to pass by and took a look inside. He heard Faya speak these words: “Very often, the problem is not a lack of willpower, courage, or effort. It is much simpler…

    For the Seven Shapes, trying at last to build a society that was fair for everyone was no simple task. Whether it was the inertia of a system established over centuries, or the inertia of the attitudes of the individuals who composed it, sometimes reluctant toward changes that came too suddenly, they had to balance…
