Am i the sole exception for Manifestation?

i have heard a lot about manifestation, how life changing it is and how truly it is basically a cheat code in life. But for me atleast i doesnt seem to be the case.
anytime i manifest about something i really really want manifest a lottt.i never end up getting but heres the catch everytime i think about something for a breif moment (briefly manifest)i get itt.
for example,i was scrolling and found a pair of expensive shoes and thought " i wish i had those they are sickk" and moved on with my life and never thought about it. And guess what i now have them.
i am currently searching for a job right now,everytime before interviews i manifest me already working for the comapny and how my life would be instead of getting worried about the interview,yet something i want so baddd and manifestt so much i dont get to have it.

what are your thoughts,
thank you
