How does one succeed in life?

Ask yourself:

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

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

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

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

“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.

When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

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

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.

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

Hangs out with loser friends.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

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

How do you think the leaked reports on Israel's operation in Lebanon will influence global perceptions of the Middle East conflict?

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

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

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?

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

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Does not procrastinate.

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

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

Procrastinates a lot.

We can't afford AC and its so hot, theres literally pools of sweat on the couch (TMI sorry) what can I do? I have a ceiling fan but my room feels still feels like a sauna. Any tips to stay cool? I can't fall asleep at night😭

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

Do not set goals—set systems.

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.

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

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

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.).

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

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.

What I need from you?

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

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.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

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

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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

That's it for today.

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

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:

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.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Making more friends is a goal.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
