More quotes by Julia Cameron
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.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is an addiction, and like all addictions, it blocks creative energy.
Julia Cameron
In recovering from our creative blocks, it is necessary to go gently and slowly... These are baby steps. Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves.
Julia Cameron
Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.
Julia Cameron
A career must be husbanded. Care must be taken. Everyday must bring some small bit of progress. How would an artist with any self-worth act? Act that way.
Julia Cameron
If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.
Julia Cameron
Love is the greatest medicine. I ask to be healing medicine for others. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and to love others as they wish to be loved. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and open to my being loved as I wish to be loved.
Julia Cameron
Leap, and the net appears.
Julia Cameron
Sometimes, in order to go forward, You must first go back.
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
It hurts like hell when the world won't invest in you. But it's excruciating, almost more than you can bear, when you don't believe and invest in yourself.
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
When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature
Julia Cameron
Taking the time to write in our lives gives us the time of our lives. As we describe our environments, we begin to savor them. Even the most rushed and pell-mell life begins to take on the patina of being cherished.
Julia Cameron
We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.
Julia Cameron
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
When you feel yourself to be in critical condition, you must treat yourself as gently as you would a sick friend.
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
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
By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path.
