What is one quote that has made an impact on your life and that you live by?

Sundie Sade, Baton Rouge, La.

โ€œBeware of the naked man that offers you a shirt.โ€ โ€“ Maya Angelou.

Jarell Rashid, Detroit

โ€œI would much rather be hated for who I am than to be loved for what Iโ€™m not.โ€

S. Day, Long Beach, Calif.

โ€œYou canโ€™t miss what is for you. The universe makes no mistakes.โ€ These two gems of wisdom helped me stay calm in life because most people who are not centered would like to convince you that you wonโ€™t be good enough, or that good opportunities are not in your reach, or that they themselves have the power to control your lifeโ€ฆnot. If it is meant for you, you yourself canโ€™t mess it up.

Patrice Welton, Washington, D.C.

The biggest growth comes outside of your comfort zone.

Betty B., Los Angeles

โ€œFocus on what you have, youโ€™ll have more. Focus on what you donโ€™t have and youโ€™ll never have enough.โ€ โ€“ Oprah Winfrey.
