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.

More quotes by Julia Cameron
Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.
Julia Cameron
We are ourselves creations. We are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves. This is the God-force extending itself through us. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using creativity is our gift back to God.
Julia Cameron
Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.
Julia Cameron
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
Julia Cameron
All change can be expansive in potential. The choice is ours.
Julia Cameron

The growth of one blesses all. I am commited to grow in love. All that I touch, I leave in love. I move through this world consciously and creatively.
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
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
At it's essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.
Julia Cameron
Workaholism is a block, not a building block.
Julia Cameron
We waste a lot of time and a lot of talent trying to write for the common reader, whom we will never meet. Instead we should be writing for our ideal reader.
Julia Cameron
Artists love other artists. Shadow artists are gravitating to their rightful tribe but cannot yet claim their birthright. Very often audacity, not talent, makes one person an artist and another a shadow artist-hiding in the shadows, afraid to step out and expose the dream to the light, fearful that it will disintegrate to the touch.
Julia Cameron
It is on these (20min) walks that my best ideas come to me. It is while walking that difficult clarity emerges. It is while walking that I experience a sense of well-being and connection, and it is in walking that I live most prayerfully.
Julia Cameron
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
It is all too easy as an artist to allow the shape of our career to be dictated to us by others. We can so easily wait to be chosen. Such passivity invites despair. To remain healthy and vital, artists must stay proactive in their own behalf.
Julia Cameron
Artistic anorexia & sexual avoidance have the same root fears – fear of intimacy, fear of exposure, fear of failure”.
Julia Cameron
If we are forever yearning for more time, we are forever discounting what is offered.
