More quotes by Julia Cameron
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
Julia Cameron
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse. . . Remember that in order to recover as an artist, you must be willing to be a bad artist. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one
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
Did you write today? Then you're a writer today.
Julia Cameron
Pray to catch the bus, then run as fast as you can.
Julia Cameron
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.
Julia Cameron
Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you think mystery, not mastery.
Julia Cameron
I am due at the page.
Julia Cameron
We are meant to midwife dreams for one another. Success occurs in clusters
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
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
The doing of something productive regardless of the outcome is an act of faith. The doing of a small something when a large something is too much for us is perhaps especially an act of faith. Faith means going forward by whatever means we can.
Julia Cameron
We always do the best we can by the light we have to see by.
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
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
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
No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.
Julia Cameron
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
Julia Cameron
An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively.
Julia Cameron
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.
