I genuinely don’t understand how manifestation works for me.
People make it sound so easy — “just think positively and it’ll happen” — but that has honestly never worked for me the way people describe it.
It’s not like I’ve never manifested things before. For example, once I wanted a certain award. At first I thought maybe I could get it, but later I completely convinced myself I wouldn’t because there were so many more capable students than me. I kept thinking negatively about it and even skipped the award ceremony because I was sure I didn’t win. Then later I found out I actually got the award. Deep down, I felt like I had somehow manifested it.
Something similar has happened before too — whenever I stop believing something will happen, sometimes it still does.
But whenever I try to stay positive and intentionally manifest something, it usually doesn’t happen. And it’s not even like negative thinking always works either. So now I’m just confused about how manifestation is even supposed to work for me.
Right now I’m trying to get into a good university for my master’s. I tried manifesting that too, but I received a rejection letter, and honestly it hit me hard.
I really just want to understand how to manifest in a way that actually works, because right now it doesn’t seem easy at all in my case.
