Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.
Julia Cameron
Image
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
Image
Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you think mystery, not mastery.
Julia Cameron
Image
Try approving of yourself just as you are, and spoiling yourself rotten with small kid's pleasures.
Julia Cameron
Image
No matter how sophisticated our lives may be we need to think of ourselves as creative children.
Julia Cameron
Image
As we lose our vagueness about ourself, our values, our life situation, we become available to the moment. It is there, in the particular, that we contact the creative self. Art lies in the moment of encounter: we meet our truth and we meet ourselves we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression .
Julia Cameron
Image
Rather than being taught to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others’ versions of ourselves.
Julia Cameron
Image
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
Julia Cameron
Image
Creativity occurs in the moment, and in the moment we are timeless.
Julia Cameron
Image
By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path.
Julia Cameron
Image
In order to thrive as artists we need to be available to the universal flow. When we put a stopper on our capacity for joy by anorectically declining the small gifts of life, we turn aside the larger gifts as well.
Julia Cameron
Image
There will be many times when we won't look good-to ourselves or anyone else. We need to stop demanding that we do. It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.
Julia Cameron
Image
Creativity is our true nature blocks are an unnatural thwarting of a process at once as normal and as miraculous as the blossoming of a flower at the end of a slender green stem.
Julia Cameron
Image
Writing is medicine. It is an appropriate antidote to injury. It is an appropriate companion for any difficult change.
Julia Cameron
Image
There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.
Julia Cameron
Image
Artists love other artists. Shadow artists are gravitating to their rightful tribe but cannot yet claim their birthright. Very often audacity, not talent, makes one person an artist and another a shadow artist-hiding in the shadows, afraid to step out and expose the dream to the light, fearful that it will disintegrate to the touch.
Julia Cameron
Image
When we walk, the two halves of our brains converse.
Julia Cameron
Image
Adversity is a misperception as all works toward the good.
Julia Cameron
Image
We always do the best we can by the light we have to see by.
Julia Cameron
Image
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.
