How does one succeed in life?

That's it for today.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
What symptoms did you notice before being diagnosed with cancer?
“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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Why do older men like to get anal sex?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Does not procrastinate.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Have you ever followed through being bi-curious?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Why do men say women hit the wall at 24?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
What is the most overrated pleasure? Why?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Making more friends is a goal.
Why did the Soviet Jews hate the Soviet Union?
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Why do creationists ask for proof of evolution and then ignore the answers?
Procrastinates a lot.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Ask yourself:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
What I need from 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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
