Thank you so much for this advice. It really makessense.

"Live in such a way that your lifestyle becomes magnetic and irresistable and they will eventually notice."

When I read this, I had flashbacks to all the times I followed or achieved something because it was magnetic and irresistable. This explains the general nature of people.

Scenario 1:
I've already caught myself saying something to my brother (age 24) about the foods he eats. He says he wants to live a healthier lifestyle, but 1 or 2 hours later he's eating cake and extremely oily foods.

This happens left and right with other people as well. They say one thing and they do another thing. I think it is this that makes me want to help them because I was also in that position at one point in my life (which btw, thanks for the help in making me realize this). A position where I'd say, "yea, I really want to ***insert action here*** " and then later, I'd go back to my old ways or never do anything about it.

Now, when I say something, I mean it. I know I'm not better than them, but it just makes me want to encourage them that it is possible to fix what they think they can't fix! How can I do this if they don't want to fix themselves?

Now that I think about it, I remember casually talking to my younger brother (age 18) about eating healthy and staying active (about a month ago). I showed him the "30 day trial" article and I said something to the extent of, "well, if you want to improve on one aspect of your life, read this." Then I walked out the room. I give little hints that my personal projects are working (and they are). Ever since then, it looks like he lost about 30 lbs! I always hinted to him before I showed him that article t hat consistency and action gets things done, not thinking about it all day. I implement the 30 day trial on just about everything I want to do and it gets results no matter what the outcome is.

I recently just told him, "if you put enough energy into school as you do into working out and exercising, you could be a genius!" ... he sat there thinking for a second, today I saw him studying and doing his homework for an hour straight (which is extremely rare, haha)! I'm proud of him. I wonder what he can achieve now?

What we say makes a big difference to the people that have full trust us. To the people that don't have full trust in us, going about trying to fix them is not a good solution.
