Because it seems like a really hard thing to do. Which is what causes me to question the kind of "programming" that might be lurking somewhere back in the recesses of my subconscious, or even in the collective subconscious.
It is totally possible but requires the aspects of your free will that made these choices to transform, else wouldn't you just move back to wanting the same still?
There's many instances where we want to quit something to become glad we didn't, it'd be a real shame if any moment's state of mind could wipe everything out on a whim without consideration to every aspect of the self that may desire the current moment. I'd be sad if I couldn't be my current age self just because my 5 years old self could've wanted to vanish from here because that year's Christmas vacations where over and they were really fun. Well the you that transcends beyond this experience is a bit like that.

Are you so sure that the Universe wants you to prove something to it? I believe there is really nothing more than an exploration of one's own free will. In this, even the Universe is your tool toward that end and not something that stands above you. I'm not belittling the Universe, it's kinda just the part of us that remains aware to these facts.
You could see the first hardship of this experience as a strong lack of knowledge of your own self foremost. This density is centered upon self-realization.

There is no shame in admitting that our experiment has failed. Admitting to failure is what makes a good scientist. Maybe a little of what's good for the scientist is also good for the soul.
The material states that the purpose of veiled 3D experience is to offer more quality and variety of experiences to the Creator in the experience of Itself.
Things are not there so you prove yourself, but instead so you satisfy yourself. To understand this though, you need to understand where you come from and where you're going, just as why and how this is so.
Ask your soul if that all is well is an understatement.
