How does one succeed in life?

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

What I need from you?

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.

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

Ask yourself:

Does not procrastinate.

How do you smoke heroin?

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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

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

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

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

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

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

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

Making more friends is a goal.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

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

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

Why aren't you a Trump supporter?

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

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

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Are there any Indian wife swapping stories?

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

“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.

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

Procrastinates a lot.

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

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

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.

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

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

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

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

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

That's it for today.

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.

Hangs out with loser friends.

Do not set goals—set systems.

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

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.

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

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