My philosophy of happiness

True happiness 

 What do people desire the most in their lives? Do people want religion, love, attention, technology, money, fame, intelligence, or peace, or human connections? We are social creatures who crave intimacy and we need to form relationships. Some relationships create deep connections, which allow people to build trust and mutual love that form bonds. These bonds can lead to many different types of important relationships such as friendship, family coworkers,a Bond that promotes career advancement and happiness and peace and strength and respect and success when someone advocates for what they believe in. bond of mutual attraction and love that leads to marriages . People want to motivate others; they have a need to be wanted by others because humans are social creatures. Being in Egypt with my family and friends has taught me that time is so precious and life is short and you have to enjoy the time together with your family and friends because you never know how much time you have left with them so make it clear how much you love and appreciate accepting them for who they are. In addition I have discovered that true happiness is when you have peace in your heart after they read the Quran and People love their own life and fully understand their circumstances knowing that no one can change their fate everything is written by Allah it is ok to get upset but I remember that you have a lot of people who love and many blessings my deen my family and my writing alhamdulah I have learned that happiness is brought . Many people believe that happiness is connected to something or someone. For example, some people are only happy if they are successful in their careers and legacy they are leaving behind Hoverer some people are only happy with money fame traveling the world .I mean I would love to travel the the world and I love the idea of love and meeting my soulmate finding someone who understands me and falling in love but their are so much divorce. It is human nature.My point is that falling in love is beautiful but you don't need a man to be a happy family. It is amazing but women are independent, caring and loving. You have success. I have recently got a new perspective on happiness. You can just be happy with what you have accomplished and what you want to achieve in life.sometime I think I am a failure because I have not met society's expectations of me and my friends are all in different places with masters degrees, husbands and careers. But this oppessite I am not a failure I am struggling. I am a strong and independent caring social worker advocate and writer . happiness is always about the truth and people who are spending time with not celebrating your talents and not comparing yourself to others until you get so hard on yourself and you don't realize how much you have accomplished as a person my blog my Quran because I have so long fousing on the things I don't have when the Truth is there is no specific time for anything I love reading Quran but everyone has their own path

 I think people have a desire to fight for an important cause or stand up for what they believe is right, and make a difference in the world to help people. This is in order to find meaning in their lives to inspire people to leave legacies behind to inspire young people to come together to bring the most positive change that they want to see in this world. In addition, maybe people just want friends to feel as if they belong in this world. I believe that a meaningful purpose is essential to motivate individuals towards their goals. Therefore, people can use Islam as guidance to overcome fear loneliness and laziness by defeating negative emotions by allowing a positive attitude to be the driving force that determines how people live their lives to the fullest, so that they can focus on what they love in order to discover their full potential as the best people they can be. In addition, maybe people just want friends to feel as if they belong in this world. Therefore, do people just want others to like them for who they really are as individuals in their own way knowing that they are accepted in society? On the other hand, people can admire a person for standing up for what they believe in, in order to fight for justice, to make a difference and change the world. The truth is nobody knows what the answer is to what people desire the most out of life. Is it possible for people to desire too much out of life? As a result, the desires of the human heart are too irresistible to control. Although, the most important aspect to remember is how people use their hearts' desires to impact the world. Every person has a very unique personality with different interests, along with his or her own dreams and goals to achieve in life. As a result, it is impossible to tell what each person desires in this world. This is a mystery that has eluded mankind since the dawn of time. As a result, this makes some people’s minds wander deep inside their souls to seek the potential they have to make their talents blossom into something great that they can offer the world. This is in order to make a difference and help change the world for the better of humanity during their lifetime. The mystery of what mankind desires most out of their subconscious minds, hearts, and souls is the unsolved. This is why people fantasize. Fantasies make the world seem like a better place to live because the subconscious mind does not have any limitations. This leads people to dream of their desires that they want to make into a reality. Most people dream of a perfect world! Do you imagine a perfect world where all of your heart’s desires can come true?

     This is impossible, right? You would think a person would have to die and go to heaven to find out what happens after death? Well, you are wrong because all you have to do is dive into the perfect world of Ethiopia to find what your heart desires the instant you wish for it. Then here your opportunity just sink your mind into the world of Ethiopia to discover your heart’s desires and purpose in life through a magical love story between an ordinary girl named Crystal who becomes an immortal and Jake ,Crystal falls in love with her best friend Jake, who is a soul reaper hunter only to realize that Jake was always her true love. After being put under a spell this causes her to fall in love with an evil sorceress named Danny who created the soul reaper’s race.

               

 

 

Chapter 1

The transition of fate from ordinary life to my Destiny 

I will start from the beginning of my story . The day my life changed forever .I was happy until my dad died and I realized he was king. I was a princess of the crystal kingdom.Did you ever feel like you did not fit in your own family . As if the life you live is not supposed to be the way it is ? Or your parents are not really who they say they are? Everything changed when my father passed away. The world is always selfish, but I have become so strong I will change the world. I discovered that love is powerful. People who you thought you knew are selfish. Some friends are true. Other people are not true friends, they fizzle out of touch with you and I discovered that my friends are completely different individuals. People drift apart all the time . Normally society would say that people lose touch on a daily basis ,but what if the person you love most in the world, your own mother who raised you and was always there for you whenever you needed her was not actually own mother .but a friend and loyal guard hired by your biological mother Fatima Amelia Elgohary queen of the crystal kingdom.

The world was safe and peaceful, pure and untouched byh violence such as war, racism, diseases, world hunger, and the evil qualities of the human heart. The sky was blue with not a single speck of darkness, just light from the sun shined with hope as it rose above the horizon. There was a small quiet house on the Far West Coast of California, in Hollywood in front of the beach. Despite living in Hollywood, I live with my family, and my life is very ordinary. I go to school for acting, directing and writing. I have family and friends. The only thing I was missing was romantic love, but the only person who I have ever felt a connection with and developed feelings for is my best friend Jake who I have known since I was eleven. I have always been in love with him, but I was too afraid to tell him the truth until one day he left for the army when we found out about the soul reapers invasion.

 Ever since that day my life changed forever, I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was twelve years old playing with my barbie dolls with my sister,when it happened. Little did I know the soul reapers were after me for my powers. Suddenly, I felt a chill down the back of my spine. I started shivering so I went to close the window. As I reached for the window sill, I looked out stunned to see a very dark, mysterious, ominous, cloud descending over the town. Then suddenly, a fog came over me as if everyone was frozen, and an evil spirit eyes were piercing through my soul as if he had control of me. I felt like I was a helpless girl in a good horror movie just waiting to be rescued by my knight in shining armor. Some heroine I turned out to be—granted I was only six years old. People say children are innocent, but what I know is that adults do not even realize that innocence of children gives people power, endurance, and inner strength. The fire of the fighting spirit that burns deep within your soul, the will to live life never give up without a fight no matter what happens in life. The fire was burning deep within me that you did not even know you had until your life is in danger. It also gave me a new foundation to believe in myself and stand up to fight even though I was terrified, I wanted to run. If I did run Shadow, the soul reaper would kill my family and me.

 I had to stop him even if I was dreaming. I said, “Hey you, my name is Crystal. What do you want from me? Who are you? Leave my family alone.”

 He said, “I want to corrupt the pure light of your soul to turn you into my slave. “

 I am Shadow the “soul reaper.

 Are you going to come with me willingly or will I have to take you by force? You choose! ”

  Crystal said,” I choose to stay here! I will never let you take my soul! As long as there is breath in my body I will not let you hurt my family and friends!” He was coming fast. “Stay away from me. Leave me alone.” I screamed as he was about to touch me. “Go away!” I shielded my face with my hands. Then a light beamed from my hands and began to overflow through my body. Then suddenly I had an arrow of light aiming to shoot Shadow. I shot it at his body and perched his soul. The last words were “impossible how I could be defeated by an ordinary girl

The transition of fate from ordinary life to destiny:

    The world was safe and peaceful, pure not corrupt with violence such as war, racism, diseases, world hunger, and the evil qualities of the human heart. The sky was blue with not a single speck of darkness just light from the sun shined with hope as it rose above the horizon.

I go to school for acting, directing and writing. I have family and frien

Chapter 2

The revelation of purpose:

    Ever since I have always wondered what my purpose in life was. I wonder whether I belong in this world. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Then, what was the reason for me spending all my summer watching Japanese amines, going on Facebook to talk to a friend in New Jersey who went to college today? I have not seen her in more than two years. In addition to writing this fantasy story, I know it has potential to become a bestseller one day. As a result, I am hoping my novel will be made into a movie, which will make me famous someday. This novel will be the way I help make a difference in people’s lives, instead of being a burden on everyone I have known throughout my life. Besides that, my summer has been the most boring summer of my life. I tried to apply to Nassau today. I could not focus on anything today because all I had on my mind was the nightmare. It is the same which I have been having over and over again for the last couple of months.

Chapter 3 – The birth of darkness:

It was a sunny morning in the town of Ethiopia. Even though I had the same nightmare of a tall skinny man chasing me down a dark alley with a knife in his hand. Just then he grabbed me and put the knife in front of my neck. I was so scared, I could not breathe. I thought this was the end for me. Then I screamed “Stop!! Let me go!, Wwho you are?” 

 “I am a soul reaper. My name is Shadow. “ He said, “I will not stop until you are dead. Before you can could fulfil yourl my destiny as the chosen one. There were more of them coming, an army, of soul reapers. There iswas nowhere to hide.” 

Shadow’s eyes were a deep ominous red. He had a strong, mysterious will that I could somehow feel his hypnotic hold on my body. It was so strong that he pulled me to him. I tried to run, but I could not move my body. It was as if he had control over my soul by seeking my deepest darkest fear of dying and losing the people I love the most Jake. I was terrified beyond belief. I never imagined I would die like this . My heart was racing and I was losing all hope. My life was flashing before my eyes, images of my family and everything I held dear to my heart, flashed before my eyes like an old movie on a projector.  

Then suddenly, I saw a bright light shining through the alley. It blinded me for only a second, but was weakening Shadow as it intensified. When I got to my feet I saw this boy with green eyes, long blond hair, and curly. His smile was sweet, innocent, and protective as if he was happy to see me. I felt relieved with joy as if I knew what we had been an unbreakable bond I could not explain. I ran to meet him, but he disappeared as if he was never even there. Did I imagine this whole entire story? What did it mean? Who was he? Am I the chosen one destined to save the world? Why me of all the people in this world? The shock must have awakened me. The dream seemed so real like I was actually there. It is funny how a dream is a message of your subconscious mind trying to reveal something even you are unaware of.

After that dream, the last thing I wanted was to go to school and listen to boring lectures from my teachers about how to have a productive, but fun summer .Be practical and get a job. You need to be active. Play sports keep fit .Perform as many useful activities to keep you busy and help people getting involved in community organizations. Do not just wallow around in your own self-pity, watching television all day, or go on Facebook. You need to make the best of your young lives, while they last by going to beach with your family, and hanging out with friends. You can also start writing in a journal, to record your feelings about the days so you are able to express yourself and make memories of a lifetime.

 Instead, I got out of bed feeling shocked and excited from the dream I had. I went to open the window to let the warm orange rays of the bright sun in, reflecting a new vision of hope. The touch of the sun had a warm sweet feel on my skin. It made me forget all about the stress of my nightmare. I looked out the window; the wind whistled a very soft and peaceful melody through the tree. The sky was crystal clear. You could hear birds singing happily in perfect harmony. The grass was tall, bright and green. The children were playing hide and seek with cheer and laughter. If you listened closely you couldan hear the rhythm of the ocean waves moving back and forth in an endless life cycle. The last touch to finish this beautiful scene rywas is that I could see my mother‘s flower garden, which was full of daisies, rRoses, jJasmines, and Oorchids .I tried to use this peace and quiet to clear my mind of all negative thoughts. All I could think about was my wonderful summer of opportunity to have fun and hangout with my friends. At least that is what I thought until I found out my mom applied for a job over the summer and I had to stay home to take care of brothers. In other words, a boring summer of watching television, and writing a fantasy love story soon to become a very famous book and eventually made into a famous movie some day with cute and successful actors like Taylor Lautner to express myself. I know there is more to my life than this I see myself doing so more to lead a healthy lifestyle. I feel like I have so much potential to help people, be famous, and fight for what I believe is right. Nevertheless, I was happy school was over.

 I always thought there was something missing in my life, but I had no idea what it was. It seemed as if I had everything a person could ever want: a loving family, a home, friends, an education, a talent, and potential to help people to change the world . Except love, the romantic kind, although I am only sixteen years old, far too young to know about that, but I am curious. The only person who came close to being the one was my best friend Jake who may be more than just a friend. I was always comfortable around him. He was sweet, sensitive, protective, friendly, and supportive. He had green eyes, gold curly hair, tall, and muscular. I did not realize how much I had been thinking about him. I had not seen Jake in five years since sent his father to military school at age eleven. I wonder how much he has changed. I decided to write him a letter. I still had two hours before school started so I sat on my desk with a pen and started writing. There was so much I wanted to tell him:

Dear Jake,

This is Crystal your best friend. How are you? How is life? I miss you so much I wish things could go back to the way they were. I have so much to tell you, but I do not where to start. I wish you here with me. it I am so lonely without you by my side. There is something I have to tell you—I I think you are the one. I love you, Jake. I hope you feel the same way. I want to see you, Are you coming back soon? I will be waiting for you. Today is the last day of school. There is one more thing, are soul reapers real because I had a nightmare of one chasing me down with a knife to kill me and someone named Danny saved me. Shadow said He will be back with more he will never stop until I am dead.” Jake if you have something to tell me please do not be afraid to tell me. Pplease, I trust you! Do you trust me?

Write back soon love. Crystal

After I finished my letter, I got dressed for school. I put on my nice white sundress with yellow, pink, orange, and roses in the center. It said “ peace, love, hope ,live, laugh and play.” It was cotton, so it was comfortable. Along with it I wore my black stretch pants. I put Jake’s letter in an envelope and hurried to the post office to drop it off. Then I headed for school., I was hoping not to be late on the last day of school, so I did not have breakfast. I decided to stay positive and enjoy the last day of school with my friends as Ms. Anna Maria told me. It was actually really fun. My friends and I discussed our summer plans. The class had an ice cream party to celebrate our achievements and this year my friend Cara was graduating. Plus, all my friends took pictures with me. Finally, Ms. Anna Maria gave me a bejeweled scrap book filled with all my favorite memories of junior year. She made it herself .She is a really good artist. In addition, I was happy school was over, I went to my locker to get my books and was surprised to find a red rose with a love note that said,” I knew I would find you it is destiny! We were meant for each other! I am the boy you met in the alley, my name is Danny.” Meet me in the alley after school”. When I got home there was a letter from Jake on the porch, it had a heart on it. 

Chapter 4

The heart desire:

I opened it; my heart was pounding anxiously to hear from him. I read it. 

Dear Crystal,

 I am fine you do not have to worry about me. Are you ok? I miss you; I want to see you. I am coming to visit soon. I love you too, I always have, but I was too afraid to tell you. By the way, soul reapers are real. An army is approaching. My friends and I have been training to fight them for five years. They want to take over the world by using mind control to find out the deepest fears in people’s hearts and then corrupt their souls and turn the human race into the soul reapers’ slaves. Crystal, you are the chosen one, you are the only one who can stop the soul reapers from destroying the world. You have powers of telepathy, mind reading a person’s aura, (energy of the soul). You have the power to control people's emotions, and to see the strength and weaknesses of a bond between people. In addition, Crystal, my dear you have healing abilities. Be careful. Shadow is after you to demolish your powers. I will protect you with my life, do not worry. I will be there soon. Wait for me. I cannot wait to see you. I was the one who saved you that night in the alley and sent you the love note, it was not just a dream, and there is no Danny? Was It a vision of the future? I am sorry I did not tell you sooner, I was trying to protect you! With all my heart you are my soulmate Crystal. 

I love you JAKE! HUGS AND KISSES!

I paused, amazed at how much he was hiding from me all these years, granted, he thought he was protecting me. How am I supposed to save the world? Well I said, “I want adventure in my life here it is!” Then fear of the soul reapers over whelmed my entire body and I was down with my head between my knees, I was shaking vigorously with anxiety, suddenly crying and wishing Jake was here with me. Because I do not what he looks like?  

Then I decided to the beach to stop feeling sorry for myself. Jake will come when he comes. I am going to listen to Ms. Anna Maria advice and have fun. She was my favorite teacher Mrs. Anne Maria she was always inspiring me to see the possibilities, follow my dreams and work hard to make them come true. Finally, she always told me that “You have to believe in yourself, trust your heart, and stand out of the crowd to make a difference in world in order to be who you want to be in life. “ You must never give up without a fight.” What she said was true Nevertheless, I was happy school was over. I did not want to wallow in my own self-pity until Jake came for me.

 Then I had an epiphany. Iif Jake was the one who saved me in the alley, . wWhy did he run away from me when I ran to meet him in the alley? I do not know who Danny is? Did he exist? If Jake was the one who saved me in the alley, all along then who was the person who left the love note in my locker?. Maybe I could go to the alley and meet this person and find out the truth once and for all. Maybe Danny did exist, but Jake did not want to tell me because they are mortal enemies. He must have been hiding this from me all this time because he thought if I found out it would create a lot of tension between them and they would fight over me!   

 Should I really waste my time trying to find someone that might not even be real? I only have this love note for proof and maybe it was just a random guy at school who likes me, but he was too afraid to admit that he likes me. On the other hand, maybe not after all life is about risks. You have to take hold of an opportunity when you get it because when you do take a chance you might be able to make your dreams come true. If I wait too long and Danny does exist then I will miss my opportunity to meet him and I will regret it. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would not let fear control my life. I decided that I am going him so I put on my shoes and my backpack and ran to the door. It was very sunny. I tried to retrace my step and memories of that night.

I remember
