Maybe you should look for some meaning. What gives your life meaning? What feels meaningful enough to do it for a living? I think you already answered it in that post.
Today all kind of people want to tell you that you have to be "successful" (= doing online marketing business that makes you rich drinking cocktails on a sandy beach by selling people automated e-products they do not need or that do not work). And many people - also in this forum - follow those "marketing leaders" or "motivational speakers" thinking a lot of money is all they need. Money = success.
Money = money. Have you ever wondered why "successful" (=rich and famous) people kill themselves? Or drug themselves into poverty or death?Rich dad poor dad is all about money (he himself might have a mission today, to educate people on money - but he got rich by doing the meaning-free things that he recommends in his books).
What if what you call fear in reality is your gut feeling/intuition telling you that this way is not the right way for you?
Do you fear abandoning people or do you fear abandoning meaningful work in order to "succeed"?
