More quotes by Julia Cameron
Art is born in attention.
Julia Cameron
People frequently believe the creative life is grounded in fantasy. The more difficult truth is that creativity is grounded in reality, in the particular, the focused, the well observed or specifically imagined.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is a spiritual issue.
Julia Cameron
If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.
Julia Cameron
The reward for attention is always healing.
Julia Cameron
Stop telling yourself that dreams don't matter, that they are only dreams and that you should be more sensible.
Julia Cameron
There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.
Julia Cameron
When we walk, the two halves of our brains converse.
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
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
Julia Cameron
Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.
Julia Cameron
I am breathing in and out. Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty.
Julia Cameron
And [now] I think I’ll probably write a lot about birds. My new house has a deck that wraps around my writing room my writing room has many windows, and outside the windows I’ve hung bird feeders … for enticing different species. So I imagine I will be writing about that.
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
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.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is a block, not a building block.
Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
Julia Cameron
You are on the look out for experience, strength, and hope. You want to hear from the horse's mouth exactly how disappointments have been survived. It helps to know that the greats have had hard times too and that your own hard times merely make you part of the club.
Julia Cameron
Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you think mystery, not mastery.
Julia Cameron
