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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Does not procrastinate.
Why was Boromir corrupted by the One Ring, but not Faramir in The Lord of the Rings?
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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.
Losing 20kg 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.
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.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
“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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Ask yourself:
Do not set goals—set systems.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Is dating in college necessary? Why and why not?
That's it for today.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
When was the first time you felt discriminated against because you were female?
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Procrastinates a lot.
