The best way to guarantee that you don’t get hurt is: not to expect anything from others.

Every individual has their own priority in life. These are shaped by individual experiences – each hero has their own journey. It is therefore unwise to expect someone else to share the same priority as you do. Of course, sometimes paths do cross and two individuals can share a momentary sense of directionality. However, it is foolish to believe that this will always be true. There are far too many variables.

So, what is the best practice? Something that can guarantee minimizing heart-break, anger and frustration? Self-reliance. Only expect from yourself. Only rely on yourself. Try to be the best version of yourself.
