Born Worthy, Ann Albers, 11 September 2025

​Hi All,

Today, the angels remind us of a truth so simple and so powerful: we were born worthy. No past, no person, and no story can change that. Their loving message reminds us that we can release our old notions of "not enough" and remember that heaven that begins within our own hearts. I'll share some of my own journey as well as a few things you can do to help leave the pain of the past behind!

Have a blessed & beautiful week :)

Message from the Angels
​
My dear friends, we love you so very much,

Imagine a world, dear friends, where everyone knows their connection to Source. Everyone knows they are infinitely loved and part of the infinite intelligence that creates worlds. Everyone is willing to receive the love and assistance of angels, and even little children are supported in understanding that their ability to choose their focus and aim their attention is a superpower that draws formless love into creation in new and unique ways.

Imagine a world where there is no perceived lack, and only the understanding that what you want or need can be supplied. Imagine a world where people feel good enough as they are, and therefore neither require nor demand validation through the agreement or attention of others.

Dear ones, this world would be heaven. This would be a world without war, manipulation, abuse, egoic battles, belittling, self-criticism, or pain. It would be a world in which worry is replaced by trust, lack dissolves into abundance, and diversity is valued rather than feared. A world where you need not defend or justify your worth or explain your feelings. In this world, everyone would understand that while they have a perfect inner compass to guide them, so does everyone else.

And while your earth is not there yet, you can slowly but surely embrace these deeper truths and create your own bubble of heaven on earth—right within a world where many people are choosing many different realities.

We speak often of dimensions and label them things like 3D (the material world) and 5D (the energetic world). In reality, consciousness is a spectrum. Everyone finds their place somewhere along it, from completely unconscious and unaware to fully united with Source, as is the case with your spiritual masters. Some babies are at higher levels of consciousness than some adults—and vice versa.

Awareness of one's connection to love varies from moment to moment. Enlightenment is not always a permanent state you achieve and then hold forever. It can occur in a single moment of pure love and appreciation. It becomes more frequent as you continue to voluntarily make contact with the Source of love, realize your own worth, and live in love with life. It can become a permanent condition but rather than making the enlightenment experience the goal, making living in love the goal and then every step of your journey will be filled with light.

There are countless ways to connect with the infinite love that lives within you and all creation. You can meditate, pray, enjoy the beauty of nature, or feel the aliveness of wet grass or sand beneath your feet. You can share a moment of pure connection with a loved one, a pet, a child, or even a stranger.

You can sing, chant, or sit in silence, simply feeling your own feelings with love, compassion, and appreciation. Whatever you do to connect with love—whether great or small—will connect you with the power that creates worlds. This power lives and breathes within you.

Dear friends, there is no discussion in the heavens about your worthiness. You do not "earn" Divine love, because the Divine is love. You do not earn sunshine. You receive it because it is the sun's nature to shine. You do not earn angelic assistance. It is our nature to assist. You either open to it, allow it, or block it with false notions of unworthiness.

We know so many of you could easily list the people in your past who made you feel unworthy. But ask yourselves, did they crawl into your mind and rewire you? Or did they simply shake your faith in your goodness until you concluded you weren't enough? Dear ones, many of you had to "walk in the storms" growing up. We understand how hard it is to maintain your sense of self in such conditions. But now you are adults—free, and able to choose. Now you need not "stand in the storms." You can choose peace.

The people who told or implied that you were not enough did not even know they were lying. Their own false notions of unworthiness compelled them to seek validation, agreement, submission, or compliance from you. They did not understand their own misunderstanding.

You live in different times. You live in an era where you have access to information your ancestors never had. None of them had mailing lists from angels! They didn't have the internet with its vast library of thoughts, books, and teachings. Many were raised in closed systems, comprised of family, friends, church, and community, with little exposure to the larger world you now enjoy.

Forgive them. They knew not what they did.

And forgive yourself for carrying their pain far beyond the moments, years, or decades in which it was given.

And then realize forgiveness is not even required. All that is required to reconnect you with your true, powerful, loving essence is a moment of willingness to embrace love in the present.

Here and now, put your hands on your heart and affirm:

I accept that the spirit of life and love lives within me.

I accept that I am loved by the power that creates worlds.

I accept that whether or not I think I'm a good person, I have angels and a Creator who know that I am.

I accept I am good enough even as I expand into more.

I now choose to take a deep breath and receive the love that wants to pour into me, assist me, guide me, and enliven me.

I choose to be kind to myself.

I choose love.

Dearest souls, you are worthy of this love. You were born worthy, and nothing you've done—or not done—can take that away. Your perspective is valid for you. Your feelings about what is good or not for you are true for you. You need not defend, explain, or justify yourself to anyone. You need not give attention to people who can't treat you well. You need not remain in situations that don't enliven you.

We know you can't change everything overnight, but right now you can quietly admit to the Creator the areas in which you want change. You can close your eyes and imagine the peaceful life you truly want. You can wake each morning resolved to embrace the day's adventure and make the most of it, regardless of what comes or who approves.

You can, dear friends, choose—over and over—to admit your worth, to stand in your goodness without defense, and to allow love to pour into your life… for you are, and always have been, more than enough.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

Hi Everyone,

So many beautiful, amazing, intelligent, capable, light-filled souls I talk to admit to feeling "not good enough." They're sensitive, caring souls who were treated so carelessly, unkindly, or even cruelly that they adopted feelings of unworthiness, even though they are among the most worthy beings I know.

I used to feel "never good enough" myself, and I didn't even have the kind of abuse so many have endured. I grew up in a conventional home where my sensitive nature wasn't understood and was often negated. I know many of you did too.

In my book Whispers of the Spirit*, I tell the story of how I got cracked open at a personal growth seminar I despised at the time. The leader nailed me—calling me "not good enough, afraid to be human," and other things even less kind (but still true). In that moment, I felt she ripped away the perfectionist curtain I showed the world and exposed me as the weak, flawed, imperfect being I secretly believed I was. I wavered between wanting to run and hide or argue for hours. Instead, I calmed down and decided to test her theory by observing myself.

Over the following weeks, I realized she was right. Deep down, I didn't feel good enough. I worked hard to earn attention. I worked harder when someone was unkind, trying to win back their kindness. I set aside my own well-being to support others. Instead of walking away with dignity, I got upset when people weren't kind. It wasn't easy to admit, but it was empowering. If I could see I was reacting from a place of "not enough," then I could change. And something deep inside drove me to do so.

Thus began my quest to embrace my inner power, light, and true spirit. Months later, on a hike in the jungles of Kauai, I stood watching a waterfall in the distance when the dam inside my heart burst. Tears poured out as I finally saw the truth beneath the lies I had carried all my life: I was good enough. In that moment, I felt one with creation. It was a revelation that set in motion the transformation that made me who I am today—messy, flawed, quirky, imperfect according to many human standards, but perfectly fine in the eyes of the Creator. I like being me. And I like it when you are you!

This Self-acceptance (with a capital "S") is an acceptance of our true nature.  It is an acceptance of the greater Self, the Divine Self that lives within. It is an acceptance of our perfection in each moment, even as we grow into more.

We were not formed by a capricious, narcissistic creator who shaped us from clay, breathed life into us, and then said, "Good luck. Please me or I'll punish you." Those notions dissolve once you experience even a moment of heaven's love. We are part of Source itself. Imagine if all your fingers felt separate, yet knew they were part of one body. They'd find new ways to cooperate and achieve together. Our differences were designed for that very purpose.

But I digress. Back to worthiness. The person who helped me embrace mine once and for all was someone who treated me in unthinkable ways. They attacked my character, mocked my teachings, devalued the fact that I'd helped them stay alive and embrace their gifts, and threw the longest tantrum I've ever witnessed... all because I told them honestly I couldn't show up in their life the way they wanted me to. It stung for some time until the angels finally got through to me with a simple truth: "Bad food will never taste good. Bad behavior will never feel good. Admit you don't like it. Stop trying to change it. And remove your attention from it."

That was hard! We want others to know our love, to be kind, and to see our goodness. But some can't. Some won't. And some don't deserve our attention. This soul turned out to be a blessing in disguise. They taught me not to care about the antics of those who try to bully or manipulate us into roles they want us to play, instead of allowing us to follow our own compass.

No one else will ever make us feel "good enough." We can't erase the past, but we can leave it behind—like watching water fall away in the wake of a boat. We can do ceremony, seek therapy, enlist the help of a holistic healer, or simply treat ourselves so kindly that we stop tolerating less. We can stop begging for others' validation and start validating ourselves. We can sit with Spirit and feel a love so profound it takes our breath away and forever reminds us of our worth.

This may happen in an instant or take years. It takes courage to release the past because it makes us responsible for our present. We can no longer blame the bad actors in the play. We must step into our starring role. It isn't always easy. But, from experience, I can assure you that everything changes. The people willing to grow will grow with you, and those who aren't will fall away. And life becomes a magical playground where you can listen to your heart and trust that you are loved and supported beyond measure. 

Here are a few ways you can step into the truth of your own worthiness and "good-enough-ness":

1.  Give yourself permission to be done.

Each time you think of past pain or someone who wronged you, tell yourself, "I am SO done with that. I'm done telling the story. I'm done dignifying it with my attention. Done. Done. Done." (Or, as I say humorously, "I'm Country-song done!")

If you must be around someone unkind, still be done giving them your energy. Don't respond to the unkind coworker about anything but work. Don't change yourself because a family member worries endlessly about you. When someone wants to dump on you, silently remind yourself, "This is theirs to resolve." You can offer advice if inspired—but you can also detach.

Give yourself permission to be done dignifying the darkness with your attention. It is only illusion.It means nothing about who you truly are.

2. Imagine pruning the cords.

Every day, picture yourself with pruning shears made of light. Scan your body and, if you sense a cord or branch draining your energy, snip it off.

This is a powerful visual metaphor for reclaiming your energy. In truth, we're cutting away the beliefs and habits that let others "hook" us. Think of Velcro brand hook and loop tape.  If you trim off the loops, nothing can stick!

Similarly, when you know yourself as pure love in human form, and someone says, "You're not good enough," you'll give them no more airtime than you'd give a tantrum-throwing two-year-old. But if you believe you must please others for love or validation, you'll let their opinions shake you. 

The practice of "pruning" helps us cut away those false beliefs.

3. Do a release ceremony.

Ceremony is a way to take invisible energies, represent them with physical objects and actions, and then transform them. 

At the simplest level, you can write down unpleasant things people did or said and the conclusions you came to about yourself as a result. Then shred the paper. 

Or you can go out in nature and gather stones that represent all the unkindnesses and injustices of your past. Fill a backpack or belly bag with them until they become too heavy to bear. Then, one by one, hold them to your heart and say, "I receive the blessing and the lesson, and I release the pain."

Next toss the stone—preferably in a body of water if you're around one, but anywhere if you are not. (Just make sure you aren't going to hit anyone if you're tossing it off a cliff!)

As we release the weight of the past, we step into a greater, truer version of ourselves. We stop defending our right to be. We stop dignifying unkind behaviors with attention. We stop overexplaining and overgiving, and we start living according to the beautiful purity of our own hearts.

We start communicating with kindness and dignity and trusting the right people, opportunities, and jobs to stay, while the wrong ones fall away.

We come to know, beyond doubt, we are loved and supported beyond measure. And that feels like home.

Have a blessed week,

Love,

Ann
