How you feel about yourself is reflected in how you treat others. Despite all that’s going on around you…or inside you…you always get to choose how you want to respond.

RABIA

Rabia of Basra (C. 717-801), a Sufi Saint, and perhaps the first to introduce the concept of Divine Love…that one should not love God for fear of Hell or the promise of Heaven but that God should be loved for God’s own sake.

LOSE YOURSELF TO DANCE

Speaking of amazing songs…LOVE this one! Daft Punk and Pharrell need to partner for a full album already! Love that someone put the song to old Soul Train footage (ironically to a Stevie Wonder tune! haha) I hope that you enjoy this one! :) <3
