More quotes by Julia Cameron
Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.
Julia Cameron
We have this idea that we need to be in the mood to write. We don't.
Julia Cameron
When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.
Julia Cameron
In our human lives, we are often impatient, ill-tempered, inappropriate. We find it difficult to treat our intimates with the love we really hold for them. Despite this, they bear with us because of the larger, higher level of family that they honor even in our outbursts. This is their commitment.
Julia Cameron
Selecting a challenge and meeting it creates a sense of self-empowerment that becomes the ground for further successful challenges.
Julia Cameron
In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.
Julia Cameron
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
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
If you work on your creativity, you deepen your spirituality. And if you work on your spirituality, you deepen your creativity.
Julia Cameron
If you are too busy to develop your talents, you are too busy.
Julia Cameron
Taking the time to write in our lives gives us the time of our lives. As we describe our environments, we begin to savor them. Even the most rushed and pell-mell life begins to take on the patina of being cherished.
Julia Cameron
Writing is a spiritual practice in that people that have no spiritual path can undertake it and, as they write, they begin to wake up to a larger connection. After a while, people tend to find that there is some muse that they are connecting to.
Julia Cameron
There will be many times when we won't look good-to ourselves or anyone else. We need to stop demanding that we do. It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.
Julia Cameron
Rather than being taught to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others’ versions of ourselves.
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
All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage.
Julia Cameron
Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia Cameron
My heart holds the world in tender awe.
Julia Cameron
Making art has taught me that the tiniest smidgen of progress is something to be cherished.
Julia Cameron
When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature
