Rachel Roy Quotes

All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Don't be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams. Govern your life by priorities not your pressures.

When you're working and you're busy and you're successful, no matter what, something suffers, whether it's your relationship with your mother, your relationship with your whole family.

A lot of people, when they're chasing their dreams, they have to leave people they love.

The only way to have time is to shut down and then do what you want to do.

I want to prove that you can go to school and still chase your dream, too.

Often the lack of clear direction and goals can waste away our time and energy and contribute to imbalance in our lives. A life that gets out of balance is much like a car tire that is out of balance. It will make the operation of the car rough and unsafe. Tires in perfect balance can give a smooth and comfortable ride. So it is with life. The ride through mortality can be smoother for us when we strive to stay in balance.

I’m trying to manage myself, not just my portfolio.

Empower your dreams with deadlines.

Dreamlining is so named because it applies timelines to what most would consider dreams.

I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.
