How does one succeed in life?

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What is the recipe for making a turmeric and ginger drink?
Procrastinates a lot.
Ask yourself:
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How can I decorate my house creatively?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

That's it for today.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
How can a 54-year-old man build muscle without using steroids?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Hangs out with loser friends.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.

What I need from you?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Do not set goals—set systems.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
“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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Does not procrastinate.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
