How does one succeed in life?

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
Making more friends is a goal.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Do you regret being married to your current wife?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Procrastinates a lot.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
That's it for today.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers, pending a physical - NBC Sports
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Does not procrastinate.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
FDA rushed out agency-wide AI tool—it’s not going well - Ars Technica
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What I need from you?
Ask yourself:
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Hangs out with loser friends.
