Do you offer advice, try to fix other people and readily step in to take care of friends in need? These propensities are noble when they’re selfless, but egos can surreptitiously seek to reinforce their identities by offering their invaluable assistance. It’s important to recognize it when this is your motivation. If your worthiness depends on others needing you, it means you require them to have problems to feel good. That’s a recipe for disappointment on your part and resentment on theirs. The only clean way to give is with…

No expectations.
