Default How to lose everything in life, and still be ok and excited about creating a new life

I was pondering today, how would it feel to know you could lose everything you have in life, and be ok with it, and maybe even be excited about building your life again? That instead of lamenting the losses, feeling negative and at a loss and feeling depressed, you'd be able to feel excited and looking forward to creating a new life. Imagining how it'd feel to be like that felt very good, very empowering. It meant that if I could do that, I would lose my fears of losing what I do have, or of losing what I might work very hard at building and attracting in my life.

I know Steve wrote several times in different places that he would be ok if he lost everything and had to live on a park bench, or work two manual labor job just to survive again.

So, what's everything? Everything would include not only losing your job, but losing your career, losing all the money you've spent years saving, losing your home, even losing the ability to live in the city/state you've been living in, losing your wife/best-girlfriend/boyfriend-of-your-life, losing all of your friends and family, losing the future you had wanted so much, losing all of your possessions, clothes, all of your memorabilia, your car, and other things which you're attached to.

So how can we become that person? That person who has no fear of losing everything & anything they have because they know if they do, they won't get into a huge depression/negative-emotion filled life but instead will be able to get excited about building their lives over again.
