In a relationship, real love grows stronger in the moments that challenge us the most. Interestingly, the flaws we may notice in our partner can be a reflection of things we might need to work on within ourselves. Instead of trying to change one another, every negative impulse, each flaw we notice, each disagreement we face, we should embrace those moments as an opportunity to rise above our ego and choose connection and continue to until we correct our entire ego. When our ego stirs up negative feelings, we should support each other in the relationship to build a bond that’s resilient and compassionate above judgment and dissatisfaction. Love then becomes more than just a feeling, but a shared path of growth.

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.
