Dylan Moran Quotes

Self-doubt kills talent.

Fear is an inhibitor that has kept more people from fulfilling their destiny than any other one emotion.

I used to want to be a war photographer, and I used to want to be a ballerina and a comedian. I used to want to be a writer. I invalidated myself; it's a mistake for me.

For a long time, I didn't give anything my all. I was so afraid that I'd be crap, so I held myself back.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

It's kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn't be doing it and I don't know how to do it and I'm going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.

If you have any question in your mind, don't do it. If you go in thinking it's going to fix something that's wrong, don't do it.

Fear keeps us rooted in the past. Fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. Fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. It's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.

So I feel that lack of qualification. And I'm scared. And I have a tendency to think things may not/probably won't work out. That's my basic mindset.
