More quotes by Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage.
Julia Cameron
By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right path.
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
Try approving of yourself just as you are, and spoiling yourself rotten with small kid's pleasures.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
I am a gate for God to accomplish great things. Through me and with me, new Life enters the world.
Julia Cameron
When I went in, my editor said, ‘I hope you don’t think you’re a writer.’ And I said, ‘I hope you don’t think I’m a journalist.’ And, uh, turned out we were both right.
Julia Cameron
The beginner's humility and openness lead to exploration. Exploration leads to accomplishment. All of it begins at the beginning, with the first small and scary step.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
Julia Cameron
Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out.
Julia Cameron
As you explore your inner world, your outer world will come more sharply into focus. As you face your imagined barriers, you will encounter real ones, as well.
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
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
Possibility is far more frightening than impossibility.
