Not sure if it's just me, but have you ever noticed that when you really go after a goal or try to make money with all you've got, it feels like the goal or the cash just slips further away? Yet, when I stop taking it so seriously and just live my life, things seem to fall into place.
It's a weird phenomenon, right? Has anyone else experienced this or noticed something similar?
something spiritual or just beyond our understanding

Your zeal, determination isnt matching the energy youre putting into it or maybe you get discouraged or distracted easily when you begin to chase that dream of yours. Another reason could be that youre a procrastinator and if youre one, youll always find a reason to want to wait and try another time when youre supposed to take action immediately and get things done. This has nothing to do with spirituality or not something beyond explanation, it is something that is very clear and the red flags thats stopping you from doing those things are so glare to see.

I think it's a mindset thing, with the Way you are analyzing these situation, it can best be described as whenever you are seeking to achieve a goal, it will be better you take it on a gradual level with ease on your own side instead of making it look as if your putting too much energy, because hence there is too much expectation and your releasing much energy, if little disappointment comes on the way, it will look as if all your effort has been wasted because expectations at a high rate was attached to the energy asserted.
Your punctuation is really making your post difficult to understand. But I think your question is centered around this strange setback feeling you get while trying to achieve certain goal. It is normal to feel that way! But with consistency and determination towards the target goal youll conquer those feeling get the desired result, but not instantly. It is always gradual process.
Not everything is spiritual, impatience makes it look like seem time Is passing you by or you are not achieving thes same results that others are getting. sometimes people don't give theirself enough patience, they get too frustrated whenever they don't get what the results that others are having. your goals are not exactly running from you, you need to change your mind about it. sometimes we cause problems for ourself and we blame it on spiritually but in actual sense, you need to be patient with yourself because is you are all you got.
Well there are forces that control whatever that happens in the physical realms, before anything happens in the physical it must have been controlled by the spiritual. Although some are just that your time has not yet reached to get to that height that's why it has not yet work out as planned. There are thousands of people with good intentions but couldn't get their heart desires, but when the time comes everything will start working perfectly. So if you are doubting your growth then you can go an meet a spiritual person to help you check if you have a spiritual setback then it can be worked on for you to be free from that barrier.
That is life for you, but you will need to explain better. Sometimes people like to over chase something in a way that it is becoming not normal. If something like that did not finally become reality, they will disappointed. It happens a lot in many area of life. It is just like saying when I am holding bitcoin, I am making money, but when I am very serious, putting more energy by trading bitcoin for fast money making, I am losing.
Life is moving on in this same pattern, one day it will lead us to our end. In this cycle of life, many things happen, yet we still have to stand up again and keep moving forward. You need to stay focused on your goal and give it your best priority to keep going. At the same time, you should not let yourself break down mentally, so try to keep yourself motivated as much as possible. Even if we are not sure whether we will fully achieve our goals after putting in the effort, we still have to keep trying.
Have faith in the Creator and by continuing our efforts in the right way, we may eventually reach our goals. Life will always have its ups and downs and we just have to accept that and keep moving forward.

I think many times when we desperately want something we unknowingly start looking for shortcuts and also want quick results and make hasty decisions that later backfire. Then patience decreases even small obstacles seem like big problems and a large part of our energy is wasted on worry and but when we calm down a little and move forward with a balanced mindset then the plan is clear and time management is better and learning opportunities are also visible. Taking small correct steps regularly is then easier and in the long run that brings big results. So maybe it is not about being less serious but rather less restless and more consistent that things work.

Have you heard of this saying "when you're not looking for something, you'd always see it, but the moment you begin to search, it becomes hard?" How I see this is that sometimes when you put effort in a particular endeavor and it's eluding you, don't push it because it's a sign that that stuff is not something you should be doing at that moment and observe, sometimes forcing it will only make you regret or lose money.
It's weird sometimes when these sort of things happen. When it comes to a business venture that you feel might be lucrative, you try it out and instead of giving you the expected results, you less, rather it's the one you've disregarded that will pay.
Another thing I feel that makes things happen the way they do is timing. When the time isn't right, nothing will work.

I think the difference is on the path you took. You have your talent and skills, it is possible that the one you are aiming for when it is too hard for you to achieve is out of your league. Like for example, a person is very good at programming but he aim to be a top hardware developer, obviously it will be very difficult for the person whose specialty is being a software programmer to be a top hardware developer. And it is explainable why that person even though does not put as much as effort in being a top hardware developer become a top software programmer because it is his skill and talent in the first place.
It is not strange, as I am saying, probably your goal is way out of your expertise, the reason why you have problem in hitting your goal on that area, while the one you took easy is successful because it is where your skill talent and knowledge lies.

You must have heard that making money is never easy; this is just an example of what that statement means. It is not anything spiritual. It is just a reminder to you that money doesn't come easily.
You need a shift in mindset too; don't see it as something that happens to you alone because it doesn't. To make money sometimes requires extra effort, especially for some. If you are not ready for the extra effort, you may never make it.
There are many metaphysical perspective which explain about this phenomena such as low of attraction, law of detachment, aligned, paradox of control and other. But for me my self all, the realistic explanation of what OP has experienced is our mental state influences the quality of our actions. When our mind full of pressure due to stress we make many wrong decision because can not think logically, we need to be relaxed for cleared and more creative solution. When we are obsessive we are more adaptable can see many window of opportunity clearly and we don't just focus on one door with one way force which mean we are not being controlled by the outcome so we can enjoy each step of process. Simply said when we are enjoy working on something, we are more creative, stressed only make bad communication and every solution seems run away from us.
Spiritually in my religion, we are commanded to make an effort, but only God control the results absolutely. The Prophet also explained that complaints only bring new disasters, distance us from God's help, distance us from solutions and invite more disaster into our lives because complaints are a sign that we are not grateful for God's destiny and forget to correct ourselves.
That is the temptation that can makes you weak and gives up to chase but if you believes you can achieve, you will not stop and give up. You will use your strength to block negative minds and giving big trusts to yourself that you can do better. Perhaps you don't have to force yourself but enjoy the process and slowly pass every ways you do, this is a strange world but you don't have to be a strange man to achieves your goals, right?
So you have to relax and pursue your financial goal in a more relaxed manner. I have learned from experience that it is not everything you pursue that you achieve. Motivational speakers would give you stories of how you can achieve different goals if you pursue them with all your might and strength. Many successful people on earth have failed several times before they achieved their aspiration.
I have learned to divide my goals into small, achievable parts. It is easier to achieve small goals than to chase big goals that might be difficult to accomplish. Don't also consider your failures, but celebrate every small goal you accomplish. Put effort into achieving your goals but don't be too desperate because failure could lead to depression.
Nothing Comes on a platter of gold without any form of resistance and that's the way it works for anyone who's eyeing the top in life. Resistance will certainly come but you've got to be resolved enough to push forward in the midst of the resistance you might be facing.
In some part of the world, spirituality almost influence most aspect of life and people generally face one or two kind of spiritual related issues. But in the midst of it all, the rule is still straight forward and it's this, keep going in the midst of the limitations or challenges you're experiencing. If you keep using the excuse of spirituality it things not being okay, you're going to end up remaining stagnated in life.
In my opinion, there's nothing mystical about this. 🙋
When you try to make as much money as possible, driven by a sense of urgency (being in a state of need), you do so in the most ineffective way.
In this case, you're in survival mode. In survival mode, the brain operates in a very peculiar way. It completely ignores all long-term projects (because they don't help you make money here and now). A so-called "tunnel vision" of the world takes hold. Because of this, you simply don't see many financial opportunities. Of which, in fact, there are many.
Since you need money here and now, your brain suggests the riskiest options. The higher the risk, the lower the probability of profit. There's nothing mystical about this. It's mathematics.
And the icing on the cake... People work at a certain rhythm (genetically predetermined, known as human biorhythms). When you try to achieve a goal with all your might, you commit colossal, aggressive violence against your body and psyche. And this does not contribute to the effectiveness of your actions. 🤷
Even if a lot of things would seem spiritual because of how it happens but is not really a spiritual cause but being inpatient, you could also be the cause and you don't no but blaming another thing to be the reason, what you are chasing to get the money depends on if you would be chasing it for lost or benefiting from it. Business is what gives billions of people in the world wealth but there are people who are still going into some of those business and did not see a tiny amount from the business because of one failure to the other and this is caused by poor information, patients and understanding, so you have to figure out how you are doing it that it has been failing and don't use assumption of spirituality to decide your goal.

Doing everything right and you still failing is normal, there are things that could cost you your life if you have them, but to the human eye they have failed for not having them.
If you are meant to be killed by your own car at a very young age, and you are prayerful your creator might decide to spare you by not granting your prayers to get a car, if your own human face it will be like you are a total failure but that's not the case.
Here are few facts that I have come to understand about life.
1. You can't have it all.
2. Some good things are only good for others, not you, if you forcefully get them they might become your end.
3. Time exists for a reason, if your time isn't here yet nothing will work out.
The reason why some sets of people may be experiencing these kinds of things is because of their low determination. Sometimes, someone may feel that they are well determined, but truly they are not. This is because if someone is well determined to achieve certain goals in life, they need to work harder to achieve them, and they will continue working hard until they do.If they never achieve those goals, they will surely reflect and see themselves as the main reason they have not been able to achieve them. They may realize that they did not really work hard enough. But if someone starts thinking that what they are determined to achieve is getting far away from them, just know that the person is not well determined and may want to give up on whatever they are doing because they have not achieved it with the actions they have taken.
Someone may take fewer actions toward what they want to achieve, but on the mind they may think they have tried enough. Most times, when you see that things are working out for you even when you are not well determined, it is because you are not expecting too much to happen in your life.However, the period when you say you are well determined but do not see results may be because of your eagerness for achievement. The point is not necessarily that you are not achieving something, but that in your mind, your expectations may be too high. When you get small results, you may become ungrateful
