I see what you mean. But I think every mentality has upsides and downsides. The fact that he’s trying is good enough for me

This one's got a LOT of downsides and maybe one upside.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I’m assuming this was precluded with “making a lot of life changes.” Or something else that doesn’t leave the reader wondering if this is just a platitude or perhaps they’re subtly leading the reader on to a more nefarious plan.

You are a good friend. Most people are too self involved or focussed to notice and then support someone having a hard time. Especially if it’s a transition period where they are trying to make a big change as selfishly people generally only look at how it affects them and not the person. Good for you. I’m sure your friend will come through the other side stronger with you by their side.

Good for him. Always better yourself for you. Ups and downs will always happen. Picking yourself up and making yourself better is a great accomplishment.

We become a different person with small habit changes, not by setting a date when it will happen all at once.

Exactly... The key to real change is making the decision to be the person you want to be NOW, and then work backwards, think and act like that person, and if you stumble, consider it exactly what it is, just a stumble, then get right back onto that road. Over months or years, you'll gradually find that you make less and less stumbles and boom you're where you wanted to be.

They probably think that they’ll only be a different person after they reach their destination from all their changes instead of just a simple mentality switch equaling a different person.

If he’s anything like me, seasonal affective disorder got me stuck in down during winter. I perk up in spring/summer, though I give every day my best
