Is it possible that the thing you are manifesting for isn't meant to be for you?

Hey guys,

Long time lurker here (tried posting but always took them down cuz I'm shy), but do you ever think that the one thing you manifested for that never works out, was simply never meant for you?

Just an anecdote of me personally experiencing this: I was in uni and I failed my 2nd term for engineering, and on summer break I filed a petition to let me be promoted to the next term (I was in and out of the hospital all semester so it affected my grades, and I didn't pass the threshold for passing onto the next year). As soon as I filed it, I started manifesting that I got my petition and they let me be promoted. I used to imagine receiving the email and the words showing: you have been promoted conditionally! Long story short, that didn't happen, I ended up repeating the term, with a lighter course load which set me back a year. But I did get a lot of new opportunities and a few months of self reflection on myself and who I really want to be. I did feel down in the dumps, but I just started manifesting and assuming the bigger goal/dream I had (still currently doing it).

So I pose this question: do you think that sometimes the things we manifest don't show up, because it wasn't meant for us? And maybe it was an obstacle for the bigger goal that we are manifesting and assuming for?

Orrrr maybe I just didn't manifest hard enough, and I need to up my game ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Does anyone have any firsthand experience of this, or any wisdom to impart!
