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.

More quotes by Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Julia Cameron
All of us contain a divine, expressive spark, a creative candle intended to light our path and that of our fellows.
Julia Cameron
I am a gate for God to accomplish great things. Through me and with me, new Life enters the world.
Julia Cameron
The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.
Julia Cameron
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
Possibility is far more frightening than impossibility.
Julia Cameron
Anger is meant to be acted on. It is not meant to be acted out. Anger points the direction. We are meant to use anger as fuel to take the actions we need to move where our anger points us. With a little thought, we can usually translate the message that our anger is sending us.
Julia Cameron
It is the use of creativity which heals the creative wound.
Julia Cameron
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Julia Cameron
Leap, and the net appears.
Julia Cameron
Here's what I like about God: Trees are crooked, mountains are lumpy, a lot of his creatures are funny looking, and he made it all anyway. He didn't let the aardvark convince him he had no business designing creatures. He didn't make a puffer fish and get discouraged, no, the maker made things - and still does.
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.
Julia Cameron
I believe that what we want to write wants to be written. I believe that as I have an impulse to create, the something I want to create has an impulse to want to be born. My job, then, is to show up on the page and let that something move through me, in a sense, what wants to be written is none of my business.
Julia Cameron
You are either losing your mind -- or gaining your soul.
Julia Cameron
Making art is an act of faith.
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
The doing of something productive regardless of the outcome is an act of faith. The doing of a small something when a large something is too much for us is perhaps especially an act of faith. Faith means going forward by whatever means we can.
Julia Cameron
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
Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out.
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.
