I suppose he just doesn't need the things that I think are "needs" or that he claims are goals. Maybe once they become a need (physically or mentally) he is be more apt to put his unspoken plans into motion.

Very true. I guess I have already been on the right track with it in that sense. I tell him what I see and just let him think what he wants and do what he wants with it. Hard to watch a friend struggle with wanting to be better and do better (and I feel like I know how to get there) but he can't seem to hear the suggestions.

Good analogy... I do wonder what weight visualization actually has to real life. Not as if that is measurable.

True. Not necessarily bad. It does wear on a person to hear someone talk to his lengths about plans and never see action though.

I guess I am looking to understand the motive behind pushing his theories on people. I agree with the dream it do it stay positive talk. I just differ in the fact that I don't need to share my goals and theories. I know my goal and I will complete it. Maybe he is looking for some kind of approval he is missing?
