How does one succeed in life?

That's it for today.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Hangs out with loser friends.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Procrastinates a lot.

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.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Does not procrastinate.

Quis sed officia eum accusantium animi.

Saving $10,000 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.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Attachment anxiety might explain how early trauma shapes emotions during sexual disagreements - PsyPost

Making more friends is a goal.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

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 feel uncomfortable when you come across cross dressers?

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Ask yourself:

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Do not set goals—set systems.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Recovering from surgery isn’t easy. Exercising in the water can help. - The Washington Post

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

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.

What I need from you?

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.

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.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Living to your full potential is a goal.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month 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.
