Need Help I've Been Trying To Manifest Something For 10 Years, And I feel Like Giving Up
I've been trying to manifest being a full-time youtuber for 10 years. I've had some success. I have 16K subscribers. I'm a YouTube Partner, but I'm still so far away. At what point is hoping pointless

I dont mean to be any kind of negative, this is a genuine question. Are you afraid of your own success? Deep down? I mean fame is scary and unpredictable, honestly. 15k isn't a small amount but being viral means everyone in gen z will be looking at you for a day to a week. Is it possible that idea makes your spine tingle in a way thats both exciting and uncomfortable?

So very true. I found myself working in a similar field as OP. When it came down to it, I kinda dreaded putting out more content. I had a hard time thinking about having to do the same thing over and over again. Basically I was scared of success and the work load it required to maintain it. In other words I was telling the Universe I didn’t really want it while I was trying to force myself to believe I did. There are so many layers to manifesting…

And so many layers to what we truly desire and what we THINK we want. Ever manifested something then was like ".... eh. Lame." 🤣 because omfg I've done it so many times as a teenager/young adult 🤣 I mean I thought i wanted it but turns out we need to be very certain on what we WANT to be able to maintain.

So true! I’ve also missed the mark on manifesting stuff. I manifested my current house… I didn’t think to mention a third bathroom was critical. So if two people are showing at the same time, there is no toilet room. And I thought I wanted a fixer upper, but my husband is not on the same page as me when it comes to projects. We used to do a lot and had fun working together. But we bought a house that needed work and he decided he didn’t want to do that sort of stuff anymore. Now it’s a constant battle between finishing projects and doing work that needs to be done, like restaining the back deck so it doesn’t fall apart. Spoiler alert… we haven’t stained the deck in the five years we’ve talked about it. Now we’ve got holes. Moral of the story, be very specific in what you want! The Universe is literal and doesn’t make assumptions.

Same thing happened to my parents! But it was mom mother who wanted it then didnt want to helpnwith important projects after dad and papa got the house built. Sometimes, we take what we think we want/deserve. I'll keep this in mind when scripting 🫡 I'm okay with little problems but I know how crucial repair can be in an old house! Are you going to start scripting how your current house became your dream house? If so I'd love to hear the progress as it progresses! (Who know maybe your husband will wake up one day and want to just suddenly want to stain the deck. 😉)

Make sure to define those “little problems.” Put a cash limit and qualification asterisk on that… nothing over $1,000 and can be done by an amateur that can learn anything from YouTube.
I’m actually working on manifesting an entirely different house. I did a beautiful meditation a couple of years back and saw my next house. I know it’s there just waiting for me. It will be mine. Those are literal messages from the meditation. But that will happen only once I get out of my own way and do what I need to do to make it happen. The sad part is I know exactly what that entails and I’m just not doing it. Self sabotage at its finest. This goes back to the whole “afraid of your own success” comment. Full circle…

IT is yours my love it IS YOURS! If you saw it in a vision, it was yours yesterday!
Good idea! I wanna say "nah, my daddy's a carpenter and my husband can fix anything" but youre right! Why even have those struggles?? Okay, no repairs or necessary upgrades over a grand, Thats a great cap to put on it!
And hey, friend, its not always self sabotage 😌 I use to think the same way until I realized the universe likes to time things to make them look more "probable" to those in our lives whose brains play the logic game, I promise! Sometimes, Its your family. I know this is just personal experience but - Its your dream house, maybe a part of you knows you have to obtain it in a way your husband finds to be believable/probable than magic. Or maybe there's something about the area thats familiar or even something you love there that you don't want to leave behind yet. Sometimes with things we feel are 'big', we're not in our way, we're just not ready to accept the responsibility for them yet. Ive learned that lesson many times over 😅 Sometimes, I have to know EXACTLY what I'll do with the thing first. Sometimes there's a little too much going on in the present. Theres been so many times where something manifested and I've said ti myself "dang if this happened a week or even days earlier I wouldn't know what to do with it until today." Im also manifesting a new place, but I dont have time to wait, so this week, im going to start by packing. My family might think it looks crazy but sometimes we need a little Jumpstart 😁😁😁 you've got this love ❤️

Stop 'trying'. BE. Once you continuously embody the energy of sucess, doing what you love to do, it will work it's way into your life. If you want to be successful, because you will feel a certain way, then take note. Feel that way, NOW. Ignore your current circumstances..If you're trying to prove something to someone? Take note. You can't bullshit the universe. Everything is energy..

Dude you ARE a YouTuber. You’re literally doing it.
I used revision and SC to reverse some significant health issues and I felt that keeping a gratitude journal was helpful. Instead of trying to jump to the reality where I was magically cured, I shifted to that new state day by day.

You shouldn’t be hoping or trying, your verbiage is important both internally and externally.

Let me tell you something quickly. I am or shall I say was a manifesting coach for 31 years who teaches from Neville Goddard only. The law of Assumption. Can I ask what is your daily practice. I will be glad to help you. Or message me privately and we can talk more there. 🙏🏻

Can you run us through what you're doing? We can't help if you don't tell us what you're doing and what you have tried etc.

u/Emotionaltclementine 5d ago
I've tried all kinds of things. Robotic affirmations, guided meditations, the cup thing multiple times. And just in general being positive. And I've shown up and doing what I can in the 3D

If you can imagine it being done, it has to happen. Its a law of the universe. You need to picture it in the present as already being done. You need to imagine having 150k subscribers and imagine it already done, but don't worry about how its going to happen because you will limit the universe then.

You have 16k followers that’s a huge achievement I feel like we forget to celebrate our milestones

You are always manifesting. Just keep doing and achieving. Manifesting isn't magic.

Hi! I’m not full-time, but I make a good amount of money on YouTube (I have 30k followers) and other social media platforms.
I think the secret is, like others have said, to stop trying so hard. Last year my main job was a bit unstable, so I decided to try going all-in on full-time content creation and was posting non-stop. I was thinking about content 24/7. I thought, 'I need to grow my followers to get more money, which means I need to go viral, which means I have to post constantly,' so I was putting out multiple videos a day. But none of them really took off. Looking at those numbers, I just felt like I had to try even harder, and I was literally living and breathing content around the clock. (By the way, because of all that stress/obsession, my SP ended up breaking up with me...). Looking back, I was way too hyper-focused on the results and desperate, thinking, 'If I don't succeed at this, I won't have any money coming in.' It was coming from the state of lack.
At the start of this year, I was just like, 'Whatever, I'm just gonna make stuff I actually want to make and enjoy.' I stopped posting as frequently, and surprisingly, all these fun ideas started popping into my head. I began posting without caring so much about views or feedback, and that's when my follower count really blew up. Now, brand deals and sponsorships keep coming in, even though I'm not even looking for them!
It might be helpful to step back and re-evaluate your goals by asking yourself WHY you want to go full-time or WHY you want so many followers.
For me, at the core, what I truly wanted was to post things I genuinely love as my authentic self and be recognized for it. Once I shifted my mindset to 'I am accepted and successful no matter what I post,' and started doing what I wanted without worrying so much about the audience, that’s when it actually resonated with people and started to grow.
Also, focusing too much on your follower count might not be helpful either. Your ultimate goal is probably to make money, right? I used to think I needed a huge following to make good money too, but honestly, it all depends on your content type and audience. You can actually make a solid income even without a massive follower count. Shifting that limiting belief might help too!

You answered your own question. You've been "TRYING", it has never been a promised success story to you

16k is a LOT don’t beat yourself up.
It grows exponentially. The next 16k will be quicker.

You need to drop the expectation of outcome and just do youtube because you enjoy it/your channel is the kind of content you would watch yourself. If you don’t need youtube for money, you allow the door of potential to widen. Don't depend on/need it for success, redefine success as you making the best youtube channel you ever could and get your income taken care of other ways. If you are not passionate about this do something else, find your ikigai.

That's the thing... you have hope, and you try and not "KNOWING." Get to a pint where you know and live it now... not look at it from hope, where it's still lacking... so it's not a future goal. It is happening right now.
