we can’t lose things we can’t earn

It’s common to focus on the things we could lose—jobs, money, homes. Often we’ll categorize trust and love in this list too. We deem these to be things we can earn (and therefore lose). As a result we’re consistently focused on how to keep these (and earn more). The catch is that it comes with a scarcity mindset.

What would change if you focused on the things you can’t earn, but just are. And more specifically, how would you change if you accepted trust and love are things that…simply are. Perhaps we can build them, but we don’t earn them.
