More quotes by Julia Cameron
Writing is a spiritual practice in that people that have no spiritual path can undertake it and, as they write, they begin to wake up to a larger connection. After a while, people tend to find that there is some muse that they are connecting to.
Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.
Julia Cameron
There is not one pink flower, or even fifty pink flowers, but hundreds. Snowflakes, of course, are the ultimate exercise in sheer creative glee. No two alike. This creator looks suspiciously like someone who just might send us support for our creative ventures.
Julia Cameron
I ask to be made beautiful like the trees are beautiful, each growing according to a unique plan. Lop off a limb and and the tree will accommodate it's loss, still growing and still beautiful. It is my hope to be able to flourish in a similar fashion, taking on the shape and dimensions that is intended for me.
Julia Cameron
Enthusiasm is not an emotional state. It is a spiritual commitment, a loving surrender to our creative process. Enthusiasm - from the Greek, filled with God - is an ongoing energy supply tapped into the flow of life itself.
Julia Cameron
My will for you is not harsh or unpleasant. It is gentle and perfectly tailored to your unique needs. Do not fear my direction. I am your heart's happiest guide.
Julia Cameron
It is not the act of making art that is painful. It is the desire to make something and not acting on it that causes pain....A day when I don't write is less happy. This is not discipline. It is affection, enthusiasm, adventure-any number of other words besides discipline.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is a block, not a building block.
Julia Cameron
We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.
Julia Cameron
Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia Cameron
What would a nontoxic god think of your creative goals? Might such a god really exist?
Julia Cameron
Spirituality can release blocks, lead you to ideas, and make your life artful. Sometimes when we pray for guidance, we're guided in unexpected directions. We may want a lofty answer and we get the intuition to clean our bedroom. It can seem so humble and picky and that you don't necessarily think of it spiritual guidance.
Julia Cameron
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
Julia Cameron
No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.
Julia Cameron
It is all too easy as an artist to allow the shape of our career to be dictated to us by others. We can so easily wait to be chosen. Such passivity invites despair. To remain healthy and vital, artists must stay proactive in their own behalf.
Julia Cameron
In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.
Julia Cameron
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.
Julia Cameron
And [now] I think I’ll probably write a lot about birds. My new house has a deck that wraps around my writing room my writing room has many windows, and outside the windows I’ve hung bird feeders … for enticing different species. So I imagine I will be writing about that.
Julia Cameron
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Julia Cameron
We are the ORIGIN of our art, its homeland. Viewed this way, ORIGINALITY is the process of remaining true to ourselves.
