Creativity in Your Life

Notes from the wonderful book, The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron:

* Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy, pure creative energy.
* There is an underlying, indwelling creative force infusing all of life--including ourselves.
* When we open ourselves to our creativity, we open ourselves to the creator's creativity within us and our lives.
* We are, ourselves, creation. And we, in turn, are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves.
* Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

* The refusal to be creative is self-will and is counter to our true nature.
* When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good orderly direction.
* As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
* It is safe to open ourselves up to greater and greater creativity.
* Our creative dreams and yearnings come from a divine source.
