I believe that the dark night of the soul is a common spiritual experience. I believe, too, that the answer is continued seeking and perseverance. It helps to know that others have endured a loss of faith.

More quotes by Julia Cameron
Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.
Julia Cameron
All of us contain a divine, expressive spark, a creative candle intended to light our path and that of our fellows.
Julia Cameron
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.
Julia Cameron
My will for you is not harsh or unpleasant. It is gentle and perfectly tailored to your unique needs. Do not fear my direction. I am your heart's happiest guide.
Julia Cameron
Making art is an act of faith.
Julia Cameron
Did you write today? Then you're a writer today.
Julia Cameron
Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.
Julia Cameron
There is a treadmill quality to workaholism.
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
You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.
Julia Cameron
The reward for attention is always healing.
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
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.
Julia Cameron
Enthusiasm is not an emotional state. It is a spiritual commitment, a loving surrender to our creative process. Enthusiasm - from the Greek, filled with God - is an ongoing energy supply tapped into the flow of life itself.
Julia Cameron
We are the ORIGIN of our art, its homeland. Viewed this way, ORIGINALITY is the process of remaining true to ourselves.
Julia Cameron
I bless the wisdom of my loving heart. Love is a form of listening. I listen with a loving heart. I listen to the love within my heart and I hear the love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron
I learned, when hit by loss, to ask the right question: What next? instead of Why me? . . . Whenever I am willing to ask What is necessary next? I have moved ahead. Whenever I have taken no for a final answer I have stalled and gotten stuck.
Julia Cameron
But do you know how old I will be by the time I learn to really play the piano / act / paint / write a decent play? Yes . . . the same age you will be if you don't.
Julia Cameron
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.
