Image
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.

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
Image
When you feel yourself to be in critical condition, you must treat yourself as gently as you would a sick friend.
Julia Cameron
Image
In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.
Julia Cameron
Image
We are the ORIGIN of our art, its homeland. Viewed this way, ORIGINALITY is the process of remaining true to ourselves.

Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse.
Julia Cameron

The need to be a great artist makes it hard to be an artist. The need to produce a great work of art makes it hard to produce any art at all. . . Fear is what blocks an artist. The fear of not being good enough. The fear of not finishing. The fear of failure and of success. The fear of beginning at all.

When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.

Creativity is a spiritual issue.
Julia Cameron

Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.
Julia Cameron

Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you think mystery, not mastery.
Julia Cameron
Image
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Image
Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia Cameron
Image
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.

We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.

Art is born in attention.

Sometimes, in order to go forward, You must first go back.

We always do the best we can by the light we have to see by.

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
