The Artist's Way - The Vein of Gold
I have done "The Artist's Way"and also her book, "The Vein of Gold". Both a remarkable experience.
What do I mean by 'done them'?
Her books are about tapping into your creative side and how to get there. Julia also blesses you with a better mental attitude in the process. She writes about how to know better who you are and what you can do to make your life better and more full.
Amazing author!
Julia Cameron (4 March 1948, Illinois) most notably the author of "The Artist's Way", a remarkable book of self discovery.
Julia Cameron Quotes
Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.~~
Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness.
~~
Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.
~~
Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.
~~
I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.
~~
Love is the substance of all life. Everything is connected in love, absolutely everything.
~~
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
~~
Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
~~
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.
~~
The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.
~~
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.
~~
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
