More quotes by Julia Cameron
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
Julia Cameron
We tend to think being hard on ourselves will make us strong. But it is cherishing ourselves that gives us strength
Julia Cameron
I learned, when hit by loss, to ask the right question: What next? instead of Why me? . . . Whenever I am willing to ask What is necessary next? I have moved ahead. Whenever I have taken no for a final answer I have stalled and gotten stuck.
Julia Cameron
We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.
Julia Cameron
We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.

Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.
Julia Cameron
The creator made us creative. Our creativity is our gift from God. Our use of it is our gift to God. Accepting this bargain is the beginning of true self-acceptance.
Julia Cameron
Money cannot fill an empty soul.
Julia Cameron
I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.
Julia Cameron
Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.
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
I am breathing in and out. Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty.
Julia Cameron
Our modern ideas of 'functioning' through things are really quite inhuman. We have this idea that no matter what is going on we still have to color between the lines, act normal.
Julia Cameron
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
Julia Cameron
You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.
Julia Cameron
Sometimes the dying live more fiercely and wisely than the rest of us. (146)
Julia Cameron
Any little bit of experimenting in self-nurturance is very frightening for most of us.
Julia Cameron
You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.
Julia Cameron
Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.
Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
