Are you struggling to manifest your soul-led life and purpose?
Maybe you have a big dream to travel the world, write a book, or stand on stages to speak your truth. Maybe you desire a career change that better suits your passions and interests. Maybe you’re ready to quit working for someone else forever so you can turn your unique gifts into a soul-led business that supports your soul-led life.
Whatever your goals and dreams may be, you’re not manifesting what you want and it’s frustrating.
You feel as though you’re wading through mud, trying to make things happen. The success you crave is not showing up and you can’t move beyond the struggle to make what you want REAL.
If this is you, here are five reasons you’re not manifesting what you want:
1.) You lack clarity on what you want.
➡️ How this shows up:
You don’t feel fully connected to what you desire or what your purpose is.
You’re stumped about what you want to do with your life or maybe you know the direction you want to go in, but the destination is hazy.
You question: “What do I want out of life? What dreams and goals do I want to accomplish? What do I value and how do I desire to give back? What kind of job or business would be the best fit for my unique gifts, talents, and skills while also allowing me to feel fulfilled and lead the lifestyle I want to live?”
If you have a business already, maybe you’re not 100% clear on how or who you’re meant to serve. You question: “What is the unique way I help people? Who am I here to impact? How do I want to get my message out there?”
🪄 How this affects manifesting:
Without clarity on what you want, your brain and subconscious mind have nothing to focus on. Your intuition has nothing to lead you towards. This prevents you from experiencing moments of synchronicity, sensing the right opportunities that will take you where you want to go, and receiving signs that you’re on that right path.
2.) You’re not fully committed.
➡️ How this shows up:
You waffle back and forth when it comes to making a powerful decision that will lead you in the right direction.
You debate: “Do I want to start looking for a new job? I’m so unhappy with the one I have, but at the same time… I’m pretty comfortable. Do I want to take the first step to start my own business? I would love to, but I don’t believe I can do it. Do I want to invest in a coach to help me get to where I want to go? Yes! But wait… I shouldn’t spend the money.”
🪄 How this affects manifesting:
When you waffle back and forth without choosing a definite course of action, the Universe doesn’t know what to give you more of. You’re sending mixed messages, so instead of getting what you want, you get nothing or you get inconsistent results.
3.) You’re not sure how to get there.
➡️ How this shows up:
You lack clarity on the steps you need to take to get from where you are now to where you want to go. You’re not sure how to start a business, write a book, or travel the world.
Sometimes, when your dreams and desires feel too big and scary, you become paralyzed in a state of inaction. The path might feel so daunting that you avoid taking the first step. By the way, please don’t beat yourself up if this is happening to you. This is a completely normal response from your nervous system and it is possible to work with it and move through it in a gentle and loving way.
You might also have a knowledge or skills gap. For example, if you already have a business, you might lack sales skills that will help you have powerful sales conversations that convert. Or if you want to write a book, you may have raw talent when it comes to writing, but you may lack organizational knowledge that will help you write a cohesive story.
🪄 How this affects manifesting:
When you don’t take action to move or grow, nothing manifests because you’re not putting in your part of the equation. Without taking action towards what you want, the Universe has nothing to work with.
4.) You’re not an energetic match for what you want.
➡️ How this shows up:
You don’t believe you can actually have what you want or that it’s possible for you.
You don’t take care of yourself—physically, mentally, or emotionally. You eat poorly or struggle to add movement into your routine. You have loose boundaries and low standards. You run in mental circles, allowing your thoughts to derail into scarcity, fear, and lack. The people you surround yourself with aren’t reaching their full potential, nor do they support your endeavors.
When you’re not manifesting what you want, you feel so discouraged that you toy with the idea of giving up. You lack resilience and patience. Even when a synchronicity does occur, you refuse to acknowledge or receive it.
🪄 How this affects manifesting:
You get back what you put in. When you’re in a low vibe state, you get low vibe results.
5.) The systems you live in are not designed for you.
➡️ How this shows up:
While it is possible for everyone to manifest what they want, not everyone is starting from the same place or with the same access to opportunities. There are very real systemic injustices in this world that impact different groups of people’s ability to manifest more than others.
Historically, society has favored white, heterosexual, able-bodied men, while women, people of color, indigenous communities, members of LGBTQ+, and disabled peoples have not been given the same privileges and opportunities. There are also very real circumstances, like generational poverty or trauma, that can feel insurmountable to overcome.
If you are up against systemic injustice, you may feel like you need to put in double or triple the work to manifest what you want compared to others of a different gender, skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or level of ableism. You may feel exhausted from putting in so much effort and discouraged when the effort you put in does not yield the same kind of results as your white, male friends. You may find yourself wondering: “Why is it so easy for some people, but so hard for me?“
🪄 How this affects manifesting:
If you feel like you are being negatively impacted by systemic injustices or trauma, please know that not manifesting what you want is NOT your fault. This is not the same thing as being in a “low vibe state.” You are not “attracting” more injustice to you or playing the part of “victim.” Systemic injustices are outside of your control and they are not something you can fight, face, overcome, and change alone.
If you feel like you are not manifesting what you want largely because of the systems you’re up against, lean into community care. Seek out spaces and places where you feel safe, seen, and acknowledged and seek out resources that can help you sift through the impact and heal. We go farther together than we go alone 💟
So now that you know why you’re not manifesting what you want, the question becomes: How do you unblock the flow to manifest the success and fulfillment you know you’re meant for?
While the last reason why you’re not manifesting what you want is outside of your control, the previous four reasons are inside of your control.
