Remove Character Assassinations


"Part of your job in being human is to remove
all of the external voices
telling you who you are."

Panache Desi

As a child, the voice we heard the most was our inner intuition.  Think about it, we had not yet acquired  a collection of resources.  We had not always been listening so closely to what others were saying.  We lived happily in our own little world without an overabundance of outside influence.

As we grow older, our circle of socialization grows larger.  There are more instances of adults and children telling us about our selves.  We receive layer after layer of characterizations and we wrap these references around us whether true or false.   The character assassinations never stop, and follow us through education, job placement, family of origin, and extended social circles.  

It is when this layering becomes so thick preventing us from any sense of self-concept.  We are lost to our most inner nature, feel isolated, and alone.  This is when we begin to unroll all of the layers, feeling strength return, as we go along.  

After years of believing we are ugly or stupid, we are find our lovely selves amazed at how gifted or talented we have been all along.  We are excited to truly see how solid our core truly is and we begin again listening to our inner voice as our most honest point of reference.  

The more we listen to our inner voice, the louder it becomes and the further we can advance.  This inner voice, directly connected to our goodness within, guides us to ways we can nurture, support, and love our creative nature.

Eventually, the person who knows us best, is our intuitive self.  When we empower and value our authentic nature we are  prompted to live a life that resonates with who we truly are and not the character defined by others.
