Nature keeps growing our ego so we can rise to a higher level of connection. When you see it that way, it becomes easier to understand life and to feel compassion for others.

To reach a high connection with the creator by rising above my ego and rising above my natural instincts and desires.

This reflection really hits home. What stood out most to me was the idea that a smile—especially when it feels forced—can still be powerful. It’s not about pretending everything’s fine, but about choosing connection over ego. That shift from “I don’t feel like it” to “I’ll do it anyway because it nurtures the relationship” is such a gentle but profound act of love.

The insight that smiling isn’t deception but rather a way to disarm our own defenses is beautiful. It reminds me that sometimes the smallest gestures—like a smile, a kind word, or a thoughtful favor—can soften tension and open doors to deeper understanding.

Let’s soften our ego with love, one step at a time. Start by simply smiling—even if it feels forced. Studies show that even a fake smile can lift your mood and improve your relationships.

Smiling at your partner, especially when things feel tense, isn’t fake—it’s a way to calm your ego and show care. That small gesture can make them feel seen, supported, and loved.

I understand the theory, but how do you actually raise above your feels and ego? because it’s against your nature… I will start with smiling.

It is very challenging to operate from a non egosistic state in a relationship !
