I don't think of it like manifestation, but I do approach it like a mantra. I've struggled at work so much with motivation and doubt, and I finally had a turning point that helped me realize I was self-sabotaging. I keep notes on my cubicle wall at work:

my success is in my hands
only I can achieve my goals
fail fast, learn fast
opportunity follows adversity
i have the power to succeed
i can choose actions that move toward my goals
every failure is a step to success
I think what makes them feel tangible to me is that they reinforce truths that the vulnerable part of me forgets. Versus just, idk, googling "inspirational quotes" or something. I think there are limits to manifestation, but there's such power in moving toward a future that you want, and being open to adjustments on the way. And maybe adjustments are the key point--you can't manifest a child without illness, but you can manifest a fulfilling life for her with good disease management and the choices you make for her and your family.
I have chronic illnesses, and I can't manifest the energy for a concert without also accepting that the following day will most likely be a big rest day. I can't "manifest" a body without dysfunctions, but I can create a life with flexibility and small joys that exist within the limitations it presents.
You can say that your position now is "mostly luck", which is true, but you could have made many different choices throughout your life that would not have led to this place. To me, that's a healthier way to approach manifestation in some ways. But I do like your final point of "I have a beautiful life right now". Sometimes years are for building/recovering , and sometimes they are for living.
