One Daily Tale

🌎

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.

“From now on, all of us should try and aim to act to the best of one’s ability!” was a motto delivered by Faya in the Willpower section.

Why did the debate take place? Because it meant that for many, until now, this hadn’t been the case. A very harsh realization for many, who simply denied this allegation.

It was especially difficult for the Espers who made the most use of their innate, powerful magic they had been blessed with, and those who were born into riches.

“It is a simple concept! Esperia can thrive in peace and harmony as long as every Esper develops their own StarDust. Magic and wealth, which were measured until now, can’t work; they are not representative of one’s effort to become their best self,” added Vati, the Shape of Wisdom.

“The StarDust, on the other hand, and how it shines, can now be measured, and it can be done by anyone. This was the missing key all along. And the more gifted we are, the more effort we have to make, because those StarDust can shine even stronger than the others.”

    You can only see the world through your own perspective. But understanding that is, in itself, a big step toward becoming more aware of your surroundings. Why is it important? Because putting things into perspective helps you face difficulties with greater resolve, feel more empathy for others’ situations, and think more critically. What if I

    At the Great Library of Esperia, there was a special space dedicated to children. The Seven Shapes soon came to understand the importance of children for a society that sought peace. They realized that the qualities children naturally possessed were the very qualities adults needed to preserve for true harmony to exist. Indeed, a child’s

    The young Espers were surprised by this lesson from Vati, the Shape of Wisdom. They believed Vati knew everything—that no question was ever left unanswered—since she was respected as the wisest of all in Esperia. Yet, it was Vati who said “I don’t know” the most. Ironic, isn’t it? But having the courage to accept

    The presence of Atma, the Shape of Balance, made it easy for the Espers to remember the importance of maintaining equilibrium across their entire planet.

    If every individual on this Earth is unique, then to us, our mother is even more unique. A natural bond is formed during pregnancy and through breastfeeding, a period when, as newborns, we are entirely dependent on our parents’ care and love. How we feel about our parents will naturally change with time and circumstances.

    Faya, the Shape of Willpower and the Element of Fire, liked to put into practice the very principles she taught at the Great Library of Esperia. Even before learning about the StarDust—and that it required the harmonious combination of all Elements to eventually take shape through a radiant Aether Flow—Faya had always understood that practice

    This may sound obvious, but as you eat healthier, you become healthier. Yet, when we look at what is consumed in the wealthiest countries on our planet, it simply doesn’t make sense. Companies earning millions of dollars sell sugar-filled foods and drinks—because they sell. Why? Because adding sugar makes the product addictive, and your brain
