"We can believe we are being self-reliant and independent, and yet there is still clearly an overarch..." — Julia Cameron

You have to muster a certain amount of belief that you're not making a mistake and you're not a fool. And this means you have to have faith.

Faith is almost the bottom line of creativity; it requires a leap of faith any time we undertake a creative endeavor, whether this is going to the easel, or the page, or onto the stage - or for that matter, in a homelier way, picking out the right fabric for the kitchen curtains, which is also a creative act.

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.

When we clear the physical clutter from our lives, we literally make way for inspiration and 'good, orderly direction' to enter.
