We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.
Julia Cameron
Image
Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is, and the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.

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.

Creativity is not and never has been sensible.
Julia Cameron
Image
I am breathing in and out. Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty.
Julia Cameron

In dance, in composition, in sculpture, the experience is the same: we are more the conduit than the creator of what we express.
Julia Cameron
Image
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.

Love is not love if it is compelled by reason and driven by logic - love exists in spite of those things, not because of them. It is a emotion which needs no fuel to fire it or oxygen to feed it if you have to look for the why, then stop looking it was never there at all.

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
Image
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
Image
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
Julia Cameron
Image
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
Image
Many of us believe that 'real artists' do not experience self-doubt. In truth, artists are people who have learned to live with doubt and do the work anyway.
Julia Cameron
Image
If you are too busy to develop your talents, you are too busy.
Julia Cameron
Image
Often it is tenacity, not talent, that rules the day.
Julia Cameron
Image
I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.
Julia Cameron
Image
We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.
Julia Cameron
Image
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.
Julia Cameron
Image
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Julia Cameron
Image
It is not the act of making art that is painful. It is the desire to make something and not acting on it that causes pain....A day when I don't write is less happy. This is not discipline. It is affection, enthusiasm, adventure-any number of other words besides discipline.
