How does one succeed in life?

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Are there any types of headphones or earbuds that are specifically designed for wearing overnight?
Making more friends is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
How did you get to be a leftist?
Does not procrastinate.
Procrastinates a lot.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
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:
Do not set goals—set systems.
That's it for today.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
What was your experience when trying GHB?
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.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

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.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
How do police officers feel about the fear they instill into criminals?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
“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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
What I need from you?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Ask yourself:
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
