Elephant Journal: Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis

Waylon offers a cheerful New Year’s message and reminder about "the only fundamentally important or worthwhile resolution."

"I rarely make resolutions, 'cause I don't think they really matter. But if we are going to make one, the only resolution that really matters is a fundamental one—to make friends with ourselves.

That's not to say that other resolutions can't be fun, worthwhile, and important—but let's make sure that we're making that fundamental one: to make friends with ourselves, in the new year." ~ Waylon Lewis

207. Julia Cameron of Morning Pages & “The Artist’s Way” fame talks Guidance with Waylon Lewis.

In this episode of Walk the Talk Show, Waylon talks with Julia Cameron. Author of The Artist’s Way, Julia talks about guidance and how we can empower ourselves to seek it, and use it, in our daily lives.

She calls it the essential fourth tool of The Artist’s Way—though she hasn’t spoken much about it since the original book was published. She uses it in her daily life, and now we can as well.

“It’s a book about guidance, and about the fact that we all have access to a higher power and to wisdom. When I wrote ‘The Artist’s Way’, I introduced the tool of guidance. I said, it’s normal, it’s natural. You can do it. Please try it.

Then I let it go.

And I went for 30 years without mentioning guidance again, even though I was using it all the time.” ~ Julia Cameron
