In my hunt for scholarships, I have come across one that deals with
one of my core personal development subject: fear. We have to answer both of the following questions in 250 words [they were not enough for me though].
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
How are you going to change the world?
I think my answer has a target: lightworkers.
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Even though I want this scholarship, I not going to lie there. Getting rid of fear is a bad idea. I don't know how Zaadz.com started, but I have been in the personal development field for two years now. Stevepavlina.com guided me through. My own ideas started developing since then. And fear is one of my core ideas. To answer your question, if I were not feeling fear at all, I would seek fear.
A darkworker is somebody whose actions are fear-based. Those articles may introduce you:

Darkworking is a commitment, and I will tell you how I have come to this commitment.
First of all, I believe in evolution, and fear is a driving force of evolution. Human beings have evolved a lot because they feared. You are able to ask this question about fear because your ancestors experienced it. Even the medium we are using for this discussion [Internet] was created with fear-based thinkings; never forget the link between ArpaNet and the Cold War. Second. Every living creature on earth experiences fear; being an exception is not natural. Look at trees and their flowers. Why do you think flowers only blossom certain period of the year? Why blossom in winter and die few days after?
That said, not being afraid is not being human. If I lose the feeling of fear one day, I will seek for it. So, everybody is afraid because the world is going bad... This conception is false. If the world is going bad, that's because we are not experiencing fear enough. We humans don't fear mother earth anymore. But look at the other creatures around, they still fear mother earth. We don't need part-fear but full-fear.
I have so much to say about this fear topic, but we are under limit, and I need that scholarship.
How are you going to change the world?
There is only one thing I would like to do: open the eyes of creatures who have forgotten that they are creatures. I'm a true believer of nature and mother earth. And the attitude we human beings are showing our mother earth is not tolerable. Maybe we are not evolving the right way. So instead of trying to get rid of fear we are creating ourselves, we should try to seek the reason why we are not evolving well.
Other creatures are not destroying mother earth, and we call them instinct-based creatures? Some of them, from which we have descended, know how to swim by instinct; but we humans, have lost this ability. What is wrong with us? It is sad we have all inherited those bad things. How I want to go back to the beginning because some people can't even live without electricity. How I want to show my neighbors that the only thing we own on this planet is our knowledge.
But nobody can confront the world directly without some kind of power. This said, I need money and I need more knowledge. I think that this whole discussion is ironic: can one asks the question of changing the world if that one is not fearing that the world is being wrong? No. So you want to get rid of fear? I will prevent you from doing that because I'm a darkworker and I'm afraid you are destroying the world I'm living in.
Changing the world, considering what we have done so far, starts by forgetting the love-based thinking for a moment and teach human beings to fear mother nature again.
So lightworkers, I'm waiting for you answers.
