More quotes by Julia Cameron
Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.
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 plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron
Spirituality can release blocks, lead you to ideas, and make your life artful. Sometimes when we pray for guidance, we're guided in unexpected directions. We may want a lofty answer and we get the intuition to clean our bedroom. It can seem so humble and picky and that you don't necessarily think of it spiritual guidance.
Julia Cameron
When you feel yourself to be in critical condition, you must treat yourself as gently as you would a sick friend.
Julia Cameron
Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is an addiction, and like all addictions, it blocks creative energy.
Julia Cameron
As you move toward a dream, the dream moves toward you.
Julia Cameron
Survival lies in sanity, and sanity lies in paying attention...the capacity for delight is the gift of paying 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
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.
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
My heart holds the world in tender awe.
Julia Cameron
If we are forever yearning for more time, we are forever discounting what is offered.
Julia Cameron
Possibility is far more frightening than impossibility.
Julia Cameron
At root, a pearl is a 'disturbance' a beauty caused by something that isn't supposed to be there, about which something needs to be done. It is the interruption of equilibrium that creates beauty. Beauty is a response to provocation, to intrusion. ... The pearl's beauty is made as a result of insult.
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
... success or failure, the truth of a life really has little to do with its quality. The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
Julia Cameron
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
Julia Cameron
Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you think mystery, not mastery.
