More quotes by Julia Cameron
Fatigue can make it hard to have faith. Too much busyness can make it hard to have faith. Too much of too little solitude can impact faith. For that matter, so can a bout of hunger or overwork, anything carried to an extreme. Faith thrives on routine. Look at any monastery and you will see that. Faith keeps on keeping on.

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.
