Making Challenges Less Challenging | The Angels via Ann Albers

Hi All,

Today, the angels talk about how we can view life’s challenges in ways that make them less daunting. This has helped me on so many occasions, I can’t even count them. I’ll share some thoughts on the subject, a few challenges from this week, and how I moved through them. Tips included!

This is a long one. Grab a cup of tea, coffee, or whatever you enjoy and have a good laugh when you get the to raccoon story…

Have a blessed & beautiful week 🙂
Ann

Messages from Ann & the Angels – 06/20/26 • Making Challenges Less Challenging

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

When challenges appear in your life, don’t assume you’re doing anything wrong. They can appear for a multitude of reasons. Perhaps you had a focus on possible problems and challenges and focused them right into your reality. Perhaps you wanted to overcome some limiting beliefs and created the challenge to help you see your own power and potential.

Perhaps you were around someone else whose drama c****t your attention so thoroughly that the chaotic energy found a way into your life.Maybe your willingness to help at all costs has allowed you to be around someone calling for help.

And sometimes, dear friends, things in the material universe break down, people around you have their own issues, and situations in the world unfold that you didn’t create. In these cases, your only participation in having these challenges in your life is that your vibration and choices led you to this moment in time—you wanted a car, and cars are not eternal beings! You love your family members and want to be around them, but you don’t cause, prevent, or control their choices and issues. You may take a certain route to work because you always do, and even in spite of feeling another way might be better, you stick to your routine and end up in a traffic jam.

Let us remind you once again. You have done nothing wrong.

We implore you not to use life’s challenges as a reason to be unloving to yourself, or to assume you are not loved. Before each and every challenge, we are always attempting to guide you on a kinder path. We try to help you select the most reliable products, create convenient times when they’re going to have their issues, and help you deal with any challenges that arise. We remind you that no matter how much you love a family member, if they are not kind, there is no requirement to feel responsible for their growth. If there is going to be a traffic jam on your usual route to work, unless there is benefit to your soul being in it, we try to impulse you to choose another plan.

Even if you ignore your guidance, you have done nothing wrong.

In each challenge, there is still opportunity to love, opportunity to grow, and a chance to refocus your thoughts and feelings in order to create something better. You can grow easily through honoring your desires and aligning your energies with what you love, but you—like the butterfly whose struggles to leave the cocoon give it the strength to fly—can also grow through your struggles and challenges.

You can find the strength within. You can turn to the Creator and your angels for assistance and realize how deeply you are loved.

You can practice manifesting a beautiful solution. And you can sometimes reach out for help from other humans and realize the beauty of being part of a greater whole.

Your beliefs will always shape your experience of a challenge. When one arises, do you sigh with disappointment and say, “Here we go again. I never get a break.” Dear ones, that may have been your reality, but you can instead say, In each challenge, there is still opportunity to love, opportunity to grow, and a chance to refocus your thoughts and feelings in order to create something better. You can grow easily through honoring your desires and aligning your energies with what you love, but you—like the butterfly whose struggles to leave the cocoon give it the strength to fly—can also grow through your struggles and challenges. This way, instead of beating myself up or feeling at the mercy of life, I’ll claim my God-given power and attune to a solution. I’ve done nothing wrong. I know I’m loved. Dear God, dear angels, I’m ready to receive your help. I’m giving this problem to you.”

If you practice the second response, you will find that your challenges cease to be as challenging. As you stop struggling with your struggles, they simply become things to handle. And as you remember that you are loved, worthy, and live in partnership with the force that keeps universes in balance, you will see that you never handle a thing alone… unless you insist on doing so.

Dear ones, there are energies in your universe that have forgotten their connection with Source. In their state of disconnection, they sometimes seek company in their misery. They amplify your own feelings of separation and try to convince you that you must handle life on your own, that you have failed in some capacity, and that you’ll never have the life you desire. There is a reason many on your Earth call this energy the “Deceiver” because in its experience of disconnection, it tries to convince you that you too are not connected, that life is not inherently good, and there’s no reason to go on. Don’t buy the lie.

The sun exists no matter how many clouds obscure it, and the love that exists for you is more radiant and constant than a thousand suns. Creation is good whether or not you can see it in a given moment. You are good, whether or not you feel it in a given moment. The energies that seek to separate would have you think life is terrible, there’s something wrong with you, and certainly something wrong with others.

In truth, life is beautiful. Look at the sunrise or sunset. Listen to the birds singing happily. Watch the roses bloom no matter what is going on in your news. Creation is beautiful. And you are good. Even in your upsets, beneath is the love that you are, longing for more, better, kinder realities. And everyone else, no matter how misguided they are in the moment, comes from the same Source. You need not feel “warm and fuzzy” about all circumstances, people, and situations, but you can remind yourself, “The universe loves me. The universe wants to help me find a kinder path. I deserve this love. I don’t have to earn it. It is there for me at all times.”

We know many of you feel weary from the conflicting energies upon your planet this year. We know that several of you feel discouraged at times and are searching to reconnect with your joy. And yet in all of those challenges, we see the love within you, like a little seed, reaching for the light. And our promise to you is to always tend to that light and help you find that light within.

We encourage you to honor yourself, be kind to yourself, and reach out for help from the heavens anytime, and every time you feel the need. You cannot ask for too much—we are connected to the infinite. You cannot exceed your “tokens” with spirit, for we have unlimited bandwidth and unlimited love. You cannot frustrate us or fall out of grace. We know who you really are, and we love you so much it is hard for you to comprehend.

So when you face your challenges, be they emotional, spiritual, or material, remind yourself, “I have done nothing wrong.” And then, dear ones, like a little child, imagine what you want, reach out to the heavens for help, and realize you are never, ever alone, and that joy can be yours even while moving through challenging times.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.
