When your friends are down and you're up... any advice for me?

I was thinking about my life lately and how I seem to have everything in order. :) I'm so happy with my fiance and my pending graduation from graduate school in a career I enjoy and that my parents are getting along and my sister is becoming more independent... I am grateful for everything I have. :)
So it struck a chord when one of my high school friends told me that he thought I was "least likely to succeed" back then because I was so disorganized and flustered and melodramatic. ^_^ So now that I have my life together, a lot of people I know don't, and I want them to be happy without flaunting how happy I am in the process. I just wonder if any one else is in a similar problem or is in the opposite problem and has advice for someone who wants to help?

The life they're living is their life, and you can interfere if you want, but sometimes its better to let other people sort problems out for themselves. Ask him if he needs any help, and if he says no, just leave it alone. I don't know if I could help you that much because I don't know what situation you are in, but you do and you decide. If he wants you to help, tell him that he can succeed and then help him in whatever way you help people. Hope this helps.
