3 Reasons Things Are NOT Manifesting with the Law of Attraction and How to Turn it Around

In this self‑help video Aaron Doughty explains why many people struggle to manifest their desires using the Law of Attraction and offers concrete ways to reverse those blocks. He frames manifestation as a natural, always‑present process that reflects our beliefs, vibration, and focus. The first block is the limiting belief that manifestation must be hard; he urges viewers to examine and release outdated assumptions, waking up from the "autopilot mind" that repeats old patterns. The second block is a lack of energetic movement toward the goal—insufficient focus, emotion, or action—so he stresses directing attention, feeling, and purposeful steps (including taking action that aligns with passion) to move energy in the right direction. The third block is ego attachment to a specific outcome, which narrows perception and blocks alternative opportunities; he illustrates this with a personal story about choosing a house and explains how letting go of control opens the flow. Aaron also shares a practical breathwork practice he learned in Costa Rica that helps release stored tension, raise vibrational set‑point, and cultivate a sense of ease. He concludes by offering a free guided meditation to raise vibration, promoting his Instagram Q&A, and encouraging viewers to like, subscribe, and apply the presented techniques.

This video, I'm going to be sharing with you the top 3 reasons that things are not manifesting with the law of attraction, and I'm going to show you ways of turning that around. Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness. Now in this video, I'm going to be sharing with you the top 3 reasons that I see people are not creating what they want in their life. And I'm going to show you ways of turning that around in a powerful, quick, and effective ways that can make this process so much easier. Now, when it comes to it, the truth of the matter when it comes to the law of attraction manifestation is that whether we are aware of it or not, we are always getting in life a reflection of what we believe to be true. And part of that has to do with what we are vibrationally resonating with. Now, what quantum physics shows us is that everything in the universe is vibration. Everything is vibrating at a certain frequency, and for us to experience what we want, it has to do with us getting in resonance with the reality we want to experience. Now, the thing is, is sometimes what we are thinking of and what we are desiring, there may be somewhat of a gap between what we desire, what we want, and what we're actually experiencing, and if we begin to believe that things just aren't happening, sometimes we create a momentum where that is the case. Now, the first part of this process and the first reason that something may not be manifesting is simply because we believe the process is harder than it has to be. So let me ask you a question. What are your beliefs about manifestation in general? Do you believe that things are hard to manifest, that things don't come easily? The reason I say this is because a lot of times when it comes to the law of attraction and learning how to create what we want in our life, we're focused on what we want, but we're not even— we don't even understand what our beliefs are about the process itself. A lot of times when we let go of outdated beliefs, things will happen easier than ever. Now here's the truth about what we're experiencing in our life. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are always manifesting something. Manifestation is a natural byproduct of reality, of what we focus on, of how we feel, of our vibration. It's a natural thing that happens. It's not something we have to learn to do. We don't have to try to do it. Manifestation is always happening. It's more so about just becoming aware of what is happening, becoming aware of what we are already manifesting in our life, becoming aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and the actions we're taking. Because as we become aware of it, we can then start to, in a way, take inventory of the things that don't serve. I know there have been times when I've just simply not aware of what I was thinking, and a lot of times it's in the autopilot mind as well. If I could say one thing about where a lot of people are creating from, I'd say that when we wake up from the autopilot mind, we start to create in a much more powerful way. When we're in the autopilot mind, which means we're worried about what other people think, which means we're in the mind that just goes into— it's just the part that it's like default. It's kind of like when you're out somewhere and you're talking to someone else and asking the same old questions, right? Oh, look at the weather today. Oh yeah. How you doing? Living the dream. Hahaha. It's the part that is just on autopilot. It's the part that maybe you're driving somewhere and you just completely forget about where you are and you don't even know how you got there. It's not so much that anything happened other than the autopilot mind kicked in and the autopilot mind will always create what we have always got because the autopilot mind is nothing more than repetition. So if you find that you're not attracting what you want in your life, it may just mean that the autopilot mind is constantly generating these same feelings, these same thoughts, and the same emotions and actions over and over again, therefore getting the same result. So the key is to wake up from the autopilot mind, to wake up from that subconscious sleep that many people are in. And the way you do that is by trying new things. The way you do that is by going to a new location. The way you do that is by choosing to do it. Now, like I said, when it comes to manifestation process, what are your beliefs about the law of attraction? Now, even if you believe that the law of attraction doesn't work, at the fundamental core, your beliefs create your reality. So you can create the illusion that the Reality Transurfing isn't working. And the reason that that's an illusion is because you'd be using the law of attraction to prove that the law of attraction doesn't work, because the law of attraction is about understanding that we always get a reflection of what we are resonating at. Like attracts like. Our frequency is attracting more of it. If we are thinking to ourselves the law of attraction doesn't work, we will look around and find reasons why the law of attraction doesn't work, which means we're attracting using, tracking things that are showing it doesn't work using the process itself. But really it's about understanding our beliefs create our reality. Do you believe that manifestation is hard? Because if so, you can start to understand. That's why I kind of wanted to talk about this because I can kind of show you that it's happening regardless of whether you think it's hard or not. It's happening regardless. Let it happen more easily. It's not so much about piling on new ideas. It's more so about just letting go, letting go of what doesn't serve, letting go of the, the complications where, oh, law of attraction is hard, things just don't come easily. It can be so much easier if you just let go, if you just allow things to be. And that's what I've learned is I've learned how to let go more and more. I've been making YouTube videos on the law of attraction for about 2 years now. In the beginning, it was mainly kind of like the whole Gary Vaynerchuk work hard, and I got a lot of results from that in my own life. Work hard, take a lot of action, and it does get results, but the thing is, is sometimes that causes resistance because if we're not taking action and leveraging it with something we're passionate about, it ends up becoming something we create more resistance around. So the key is to also let go at the same time and know that we don't have to do absolutely everything in the process. The second reason that things may not be manifesting is because there's not energy moving in the right direction, not even the right direction, but there's just not energy moving in general. Now, what I've learned in my own life is that manifestation, and especially living the kind of lifestyle that I live today, that I'm able to do what I love for a living. I'm able to kind of get a house that I love to be in. I'm able to live in abundance like I probably couldn't really imagine 2 or 3 years ago. It's because I put a lot of energy into my manifestation. I put a lot of energy into what I love to do. Now here's the thing. A lot of people aren't putting the energy and the focus into that which they want to experience. They're saying, oh yeah, well, I want this. And they're acknowledging it once or twice maybe throughout the day, but that's about it. In order for something to really manifest in a powerful way, it requires a lot of focus. Now, some things not so much. Not everything is going to require a ton, a ton of focus. Some things, if you have no resistance to them, will happen very easily. But I have found that based on the vibration of where I was 2 years ago to where I am today, it required focus for me to get here. Now, here's the truth. Here's the powerful part of this. Whatever you are passionate about, whatever you are connected to within your heart, it's going to be the easiest thing to focus on. I get up every day. I probably work close to sometimes up to 12 hours a day or more, but I'm doing what I love and it's so easy for me to focus on because I wouldn't have it any other way and because it's easy for me to focus on, it continues to grow more and more and more. and it's just this thing that naturally flows. So the thing is, is are you doing what you're passionate about and is what you are wanting to manifest, is that something that's easy for you to focus on because you're naturally passionate about it? I would ask those questions and understand that if you're not achieving what you want, is it because there's not enough energy easily going in that direction? And maybe are you drained of energy in other ways? You know, anytime we really, really want something, we are also vibrationally saying, I really, really don't currently have it because in order to want it, you have to kind of externalize it and say that it's not currently here. But many people will drain themselves of energy of that wanting. Now sometimes that wanting can move people to take action and to desire and to create this emotion within them. To where then they experience the movement of that. But a lot of times people are not creating what they want in their life. They're not manifesting what they want either because the energy isn't there for it. They're not focusing on it, or it's simply that the energy is not moving in that direction. So either the energy isn't there or it's just not moving. Move the energy with your focus. Move the energy by either taking action. I know sometimes people don't want to hear that, take action, but action moves the energy. Action puts you in the right place at the right time. Action opens up opportunities, and if you love what you do, the action is something that becomes easy. That's something that will come very natural, but the energy may have to just be moved, may just have to go in a certain direction. And the way that you do that is by increasing the emotion you have towards it, which means you focus on it more, or taking action and doing something that puts you in the right place. If you want to attract a relationship and you say, I declare I want to attract a relationship, but you never leave your house, it's not likely that you will be able to meet somebody, maybe unless you're online or something, But the thing is, is if you put yourself in situations where that can happen, you in a way, you meet the universe halfway and then something can happen much more powerfully. But this is why it's about us doing our end of the, our end of the stick and then the universe doing the end as well, meeting in the middle. We can declare it, we can align our emotion and our passion to it and then take steps in that direction. And it's almost like then the universe will start to push us and guide us and also at the same time make things happen even faster. But many times the energy just has to be moved and don't be aware of also your energy and what's draining you, what's not draining you. Sometimes you're around certain people, they may drain you. If they drain you, then I would recommend you figure out how to best go about that. Maybe it's a little bit less time. Maybe it's more time nurturing yourself. If you find that something you're focused on is really draining yourself of energy, take a break. Sometimes I'm doing website stuff and I get resistant in it. I'll have to go outside, walk on grass. I'll have to go do something. I come back to it, things happen even easier. The energy starts to move. So focus equals feeling. The more you focus on something, the more it grows. The more you focus on what you're passionate about, The more you have this potent energy in it, the more powerful things are happening. So maybe what you are manifesting, what you are wanting to create, isn't something you're really passionate about. If so, then find out what that is because that will be the thing that manifests very quickly and move the energy in that direction with your focus. And if you need to, by moving the energy with action, something I found to be very powerful and it's something I love to do because I love what I do. Now, the third reason things may not be manifesting is because the ego has an attachment to how things are manifesting. I see this happen a lot, and this has happened with myself. I have a certain vision in my mind. This is how things are gonna go. And if we remain attached to that perspective, then many times we will block other opportunities from coming into our life. Even this house, for example, when I saw this house, I originally applied for one other house and then I looked at another house and I was trying to decide between the two and they were more on a different side of town here in Las Vegas. I thought it was going to be in that area. My ego was determined that's going to be in that area, but I just knew that there was something else out there. I knew that there was a house I was going to like even better and then after like a week of waiting to hear back on the other house, This house popped up on Trulia, on the, on a website. I was like, huh. I looked at the pictures. I saw how open it was. I saw how far back everything did, everything was, and I was like, man, this house is perfect. I went and saw it and I knew immediately it was the house, but it's on a little bit different side of town, still in a, still in a good area, but it's different than what I thought. But if I were to remain very stubborn with that other side, I would be at a house that I would not enjoy. 30% as much as this house. Like, I love this house so much more than the other two houses for sure. It's exactly what I wanted. It was one story. I wanted a good-sized one-story house rather than a two-story going upstairs. I want it to be very open. I want it to be modern. This has like a, like almost like a Zen vibe. There's a pool, grass, everything that I want. But if I would have remained very focused on just what my ego thought it wanted, I want to be on that side of town. I would have blocked out all the other opportunities. And this happens for many people. Many times opportunities are already in our life, but we're not aware of them because we block them out. We are thinking, nope, this is how things have to happen. It's like almost we're like, I'm going to create money in my life and we're just looking for money, just looking for the money, just looking for money. When there could be an opportunity that came into our life, it could be somebody that comes up to you and is like, hey, I think you'd be a great person if I introduce you to my friend who's a successful business person and this is what they do and this is kind of business they have and I think you would enjoy it. Nope, I'm just looking for money. Well, that could have led to money. Maybe they introduce you to this person and that person sees the potential and he's like, you know what, I want you to work for me and I'll pay you $150,000 a year. And before you were making $50,000 and you were going yourself at $100,000. So you see, it could always be better. Than what you imagine. But the thing is, is sometimes our ego steps in. It's like, nope, this is what I'm focused on. Be open. The point to this one is to let go of control. Sometimes it's also their ego just completely limits us with our potential. What if the best case scenario for the ego, the ceiling to the ego, is the floor to the higher mind? So the higher mind's like, hey, I was going to give it, you know, we were going to work something out to where you manifested $300,000 a year, but you're so focused on this $100,000, $150,000 thing in your mind that, okay, that's what we'll cap you off there, but be open. That's why some people will say, think to yourself whatever your goal is and more. Like, I intend to create and generate the kind of value that brings people over $300,000 or more worth of value because then that comes back to you. So this is about understanding the control aspect of the ego and how to let go. I went to a, a life transformation place in Costa Rica last year and I'm going back this year as well in a couple months. And when I was there, there was this message I just kept getting. We did this breath workshop where I was able to move this energy through my body. And let go of a lot of stuff that was kind of piled up from childhood and I let go of it and when I let go of it, I just kept, I remember my hands tensed up. So you're breathing in for an hour in this certain breathing pattern and it's increasing the oxygen in your body. It's bringing up a whole bunch of stuff that's been piled inside the heart and I just felt this tenseness inside of my hands go like this, like almost like a praying mantis and I went like this and it felt, I just kept thinking, let go. I just remembered, let go, let go. Because then It was like I was able to let go of the energy that was stored up inside my body. And as I did that, from that moment on, I felt like I could— things just could be easier. And I remember afterwards I was talking to one of the practitioners there, the transformational breathwork practitioners. She said that anybody— you can look at someone's breathing pattern and tell their personality. And she said my breathing pattern had this almost like this level of I have to work hard, I have to make things happen, kind of like a You know, and I am somebody that works hard, but she's like, things can be easier than you'd think. You make things a little bit harder than they have to be. And I can tell 'cause your breathing pattern, you breathe in all of this air and you try to take in more than you have to because you believe you have to do everything. You have this armor around your body of you creating this kind of like this momentum. And you can make things easier. You can allow things to be easy. You can let go. And from that moment on, I focused on, letting go, not controlling my breath so much. You know, sometimes small things we do influence other parts of our life. So sometimes my breathing, controlling my breath is also a level of me controlling my manifestations. So I learned to let go, allow things to happen. Things can be easier. I can just let go. And that's kind of what I've been focused on. And things have been easier than ever because I've also dropped those beliefs that things have to be hard. So that goes into the first one. Remember, the first reason you might not be manifesting what you want is you believe that it has to be hard. Things can be easier than you think if you allow them to be, and knowing that things are already manifesting anyways. Everything in our life is a reflection of what we believe to be true. Secondly, sometimes if we're not experiencing what we want, it may just be that we don't have the energy moving in that direction, or we lack the energy in general. Allow things to be there. Let yourself understand things can be easier, but at the same time, Move the energy with your focus, your feeling, and action. And then thirdly, let go. Let go of the control. Allow things to be there. And as you do, you'll raise your vibration and things will happen even easier. Now another thing I did is I've created a free guided meditation that will show you exactly how to raise your vibrational set point. This is something that I believe will change your life if you listen to it for 21 days. It'll help you to start to feel in a completely new way. There's something I used to— I went from a— on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 feeling the greatest and 1 feeling not so great. I used to feel at about a 3 or 4. This brought me up to about a 7 or an 8. The principles that I put in that meditation, absolutely free. You can download at the top of the description box below. Something else I'll be doing is more live Q&As on Instagram. So if you want more live interaction from me, you can follow me on Instagram as well. I do live Q&As. I also do daily daily content there as well. And other than that, as always, I hope you enjoyed this video. Feel free to like this video if you liked it. Subscribe if you haven't already. Hit the little notification here so that you can see the daily vids that I do. The way that YouTube does things now is you actually have to hit that. And other than that, as always, peace, much love, and namaste.
