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.
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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Why do some people have sex with dogs?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
While emptying a house, have you ever seen something in it that blew your mind?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
“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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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)?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Making more friends is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
That's it for today.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, 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.
Why do you have to be 18+ to go live on TikTok?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
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):
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
