How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Why do some men like older women?
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?
What I need from you?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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.
That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
My friend asked my crush and he said my crush hates me but not in a rude way. What does that mean?
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Does not procrastinate.
Do you prefer wired headphones or wireless earbuds?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Ask yourself:
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Do not set goals—set systems.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
“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.
