Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.
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.

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.

Practice being kind to yourself in small, concrete ways. Look at your refrigerator. Are you feeding yourself nicely? Do you have socdks? An extra set of sheets? What about a new house plant? A thermos for the long drive to work? Allow yourself to pitch out some of your ragged clothes. You don't have to keep everything.

Answered prayers are scary. They imply responsibility. You asked for it. Now that you've got it, what are you going to do? Why else the cautionary phrase Watch out for what you pray for you might just get it?
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

When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.

When it was suggested that I write a memoir I said, 'I'm not old enough. I'm not distinguished enough.' But I went home and sat down to write, and the material for the book just came flooding into my hands.

Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
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.

Image
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.

Image
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse.
Julia Cameron
Image
All of us contain a divine, expressive spark, a creative candle intended to light our path and that of our fellows.

In dance, in composition, in sculpture, the experience is the same: we are more the conduit than the creator of what we express.
