Does anyone have experience manifesting a change in *themselves*?

I am a horribly passive person. I don't take very much initiative in my daily life and I seem to need to be hit with the clue stick a lot of the time. I tend to let the world happen around me. I need to be less passive. I need more initiative.

There's most people's speed, then there's my speed, which is about a quarter as fast... I'm even a late bloomer, only getting a hang of the job/material needs thing in my 30s as I was always very internal/daydreamy/artsy/metaphysical rather than focused on the world around me. I tend to stay out of group social things because they just seem to happen TOO FAST. I'm good at getting my needs met by manifesting, and in passive ways, but when something requires actually speaking up or reaching for it or taking initiative, that's another matter.

Maybe I just need to honor who I am... but at the same time... there are times I need to find some kind of inner ability to speak up and act and react to the world as it happens around me.

Other things I need to change... I'm horribly messy and disorganized. I realize that it's mostly other people in my life who want to change this about me. But I also know intellectually that I'd be more effective in my life if I did change this. I just don't seem to be able to work up the actual emotional desire to change it.
