Do These Things and Find Fulfillment in Life

I’ve been channeling and sharing divine messages and guidance now for several years, and I’ve learned a lot from the Archangels. Looking back, there have been several themes they’ve focused on and encouraged us to consider and incorporate into our lives, and I thought it would be a good idea to gather those themes into one article to give us an overall reminder of sound advice that will lead us to a better life.
Rather than beginning with a question and answer format as usual, I’ve listed several items I’ve shared with you through the years that the Angels have suggested we implement into our lives, with a brief channeled message after each one, then a summation message channeled at the end. I hope you find it helpful to gather this sage guidance we’ve been given into one place, one article, and I hope you’ll consider making it part of your life as you go forward.
To-Do List from the Archangels for a Better Life
#1: Self-care is essential, and it should revolve around consciously bringing the Big 4 – joy, hope, love, and peace – into your life on a daily basis.
We cannot emphasize this enough. You have been conditioned to set aside your own needs in favor of many external factors, such as security, survival, responsibilities to others, material gain, external recognition, etc. What you must realize is that you do not have to forsake those other things in order to focus on the Big 4. The opposite is true. If you focus on bringing more joy, hope, love, and peace into your life, if you base your decisions and choices on these things, everything else will fall into place. When you focus on self-care through the Big 4, you will not only serve and help yourself, but you will inevitably contribute more to the outside world through your own fulfillment and satisfaction. It is a win/win situation.
Action: Take just ten minutes a day to focus on the Big 4 and what you need to do in order to improve in these areas.
#2: Heal from past trauma, so it remains in the past and cannot upset your present and future.
In order to heal from trauma, you must face all of the emotional upheaval that was part of it. You are entitled to those emotions, and you must acknowledge them, process them, and eventually release them in order to move on to a brighter, less burdened present and future. The new, higher vibrational energy surrounding you will help make this possible, and we can also help if you ask us to, but you must make the time and effort to do so.
Action: Identify the emotions you experienced during past trauma, allow yourself to feel them, then make a statement of intent, such as, “I release these emotions to make room for healing emotions and states of mind, such as joy, hope, love, and peace.” Repeat it often.
#3: Forgive yourself and release any regrets, shame, or guilt you have been carrying.
It is not only normal, acceptable, and expected that you will make mistakes during your lifetime, but it is advantageous for you, because each mistake opens the door to learning and growth. What you see as a mistake or regret, we see as a learning opportunity. Whatever you do or fail to do during your lifetime, you are loved unconditionally, and this never changes. You are forgiven everything, but this is not particularly valuable, if you do not forgive yourself. Being human is being fallible. When you incarnate, your universal knowledge is put into a kind of storage, so it will not hinder your evolution as you progress during your lifetime. This is part of the plan, and you need to recognize that making mistakes is a path to enlightenment and evolution.
Action: Identify mistakes you have made and try to find the lessons learned from them. You can do this during those ten minutes a day you spend on the Big 4 and self-care.
#4: Release your fear and anger, and replace them with hope and compassion.
Fear and anger were once supported by the Earth’s energy, and those in power manipulated and continue to manipulate these emotions as a means of controlling you and separating you. Reject fear and replace it with hope. Release anger and replace it with compassion. When you do this, those who continue to try to control you lose their power over you.
Action: Imagine the world you want, rather than the world you currently live in. When you focus on anger and fear, you lose your power, and you give it away to those who want to keep you fearful and angry. You must break this controlling cycle and set aside fear and anger, especially as it pertains to other people, if you are to change the world and make it a better place. Unity is the key to the future. Stop viewing each other as enemies. Realize that you have much more in common than you have differences. Respect each other’s rights to your own views and opinions, and accept even if you cannot agree or support someone’s ideas on something. You do not have to agree on everything in order to be allies.
#5: Embrace change and reject the status quo.
Question everything, because you have been lied to, manipulated, and fooled for many, many years. You have been conditioned to believe that the status quo is better and safer than change and the unknown, because those in power do not want change, for they have prospered through your sacrifices within the current societal systems. They have convinced you that change is to be feared and that the past should be the basis for the future. They do this by supplying scapegoats to blame for all your problems and convincing you that change is dangerous, and the status quo is safe, but think carefully, and you will realize that the status quo is not working for you. Change is needed. Why would you believe anything those in power tell you when it is to their advantage that things stay the same and to your disadvantage? Doing what they tell you to do and believing their propaganda serves only them, not you.
Action: Identify your greatest struggles and hardships, then identify who is thriving while you continue to struggle. Commit to questioning everything those in power tell you. Seek and find your own answers and the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.
#6: Focus on and control yourself, and release the need to control others.
You should be the creator of your own life on Earth. Design your life, and allow others to design theirs. You do not have to be comfortable with someone else’s choices. You do not have to approve of them. You do need to accept that everyone should have the right to live their life as they choose, however, as long as it does not adversely affect or harm others. There is nothing wrong with having strong convictions and beliefs, as long as you only apply them to your own life and do not try to hold others to your ideals and standards. Live your life as you see fit, and accept that others should be able to do the same. You do not have to agree with their choices, and they do not have to agree with yours. With our universal knowledge and experience, we know what is best for you, but we would never try to force you to do what we say. You have the power to choose, and we respect that power and gift of free will. You must learn to do the same. The Creator gifted you with free will when you were created. Who is anyone to take away this divine gift and deny a person’s right to choose their own path?
Action: Commit to releasing the need to control others’ choices and accepting that everyone should have the freedom to live their life as they see fit, whether or not you agree with or approve of their choices.
#7: Believe in yourself, be true to yourself, and stand in your power.
Boundaries and expectations have been set for you by others, and it is time to set those aside and form your own boundaries and expectations for your life. Define what success is for you and discard what society has told you to do with your life. Decide for yourself what is important to you and how you wish to live this life. Be true to yourself and consider that you are a divine being of light, powerful in your own rite. You do not need anyone’s permission or approval to pursue your dreams and goals, and you should know you are capable of achieving them.
Action: Identify your gifts and your dreams and devise a plan for change. Pursue what is important to you, not what you have been told is important and acceptable. Do not try to be someone else’s version of you. Decide who you want to be and what you want to do, then make it your reality.
Channeled Message from the Archangels
There is nothing new here. Everything listed has been a part of our messages to you for a very long time, not only through this channel, but as shared with many others. Nothing on this to-do list is overly difficult in and of itself. What is most challenging is releasing old habits and beliefs and replacing them with the new habits and beliefs we have offered for your consideration and believing that you can accomplish them, that you are worthy and capable of them. That takes courage and conviction and determination. It takes time and effort and commitment. It takes a conscious effort and choice of rejecting the old ways and replacing them with ways that better serve you. It requires you to release old beliefs and practices and the investment you have made in the status quo and those who perpetuate it and replacing it with a new confidence in yourself and your abilities. It demands that you embrace the idea and the belief that you are important, valuable, and worthy.
Before you can create a new system, you must release the old system and watch it crumble. This is what is happening right now. Before you can find a new way forward, you must release past beliefs, practices, and actions. Before you can shape a new world with clarity and determination, you must see the current world clearly and identify the reasons it has failed you, along with the people behind those reasons who wish to continue as things are, because they have prospered while you have not.
If you cannot yet embrace your own power, try to acknowledge the possibility that it at least exists, that you are important and worthy of more. You have given up your power for a long time, and it will take time to recognize it and reclaim it, but it can be done. Begin with considering the possibility until you can make it a reality.
Those in power continue to manipulate you by convincing you that the way to a better life is by controlling others and taking away their choices, but that is an illusion and a lie. The way to finding your own power is to ensure that others also have their power and joining forces to ensure that the freedom to shape your own life as you choose remains within everyone’s reach. Forcing and limiting others eventually limits you and relinquishes your power to others. When you control others, you also relinquish control, if not immediately, then later on.
Do not focus on controlling others’ lives. Instead, focus on your own life. You cannot embrace joy, hope, love, and peace in your life if you take those things away from others. No matter how strongly you believe that something is right and true, you do not have the right to apply that belief to others’ lives. Shape your own life and allow others to do the same. If you are confident and comfortable in your own life, there should be no need to convince others that you are right, and there should be no need to force your choices on others. Be at peace with your choices, and do not concern yourself with others’ choices. If you feel the need to control and force others, then you are not at peace and never will be as long as that is your path.
All of these items for your prospective to-do list are important, but our most constant and emphasized message to you has always been and will always be that we love you unconditionally and always. Whether or not you follow this heart-centered, empowering advice is your choice, but know that whatever you decide to do or not do, we will always love you and want what is best for you, and we are always available to you if and when you need us. Call on us at any time, and we will hear you and help you in any way we can. Whether or not you accept or believe it, you are loved, valued, and highly worthy of all good things. We are always on your side.
Final Thoughts
The theme for Friday Night Meditations with the Archangels for the month of May is Independence as it pertains to making your own life choices and allowing others to make their own choices. If you would like to join us, just call on the Archangels and offer loving energy around this theme to whomever needs it. They will gather, combine, and add to this energy and disperse it to where it’s most needed. Time and place do not matter. Just give from your heart with loving intent.
I don’t always remember to follow the Archangels’ advice and guidance, but when I do, my life is better, more enjoyable, and more easily managed, and the chaos surrounding me becomes easier to navigate. They have proven time and again that they know what they’re talking about.
The thing that really stood out for me was the following:
With our universal knowledge and experience, we know what is best for you, but we would never try to force you to do what we say. You have the power to choose, and we respect that power and gift of free will. You must learn to do the same.
If you believe in an all powerful God, then consider that we were gifted with free will during the creation process. God doesn’t control us. On the contrary, he has given us the ability to choose for ourselves. Who are we to try to force our will onto others? Yet, that’s what so many of us do. It’s led to wars, heartbreak, and a host of other problems. Until we are willing to respect the choices and gift of free will in others, we can’t expect to have peace and tranquility on Earth.
I hope your weekend is full of joy, hope, love, and peace. If you have the time, I hope you’ll consider the things the Angels have tasked us with doing for our own good and for the good of the world.
Blessings, all.
