How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Do not set goals—set systems.
What movies have not aged well?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Does not procrastinate.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, 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.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Making more friends is a goal.

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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Why does my mother care about my sister more than me?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Why did you choose not to join Mensa?
Procrastinates a lot.
“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.
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:
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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Are there any real-life examples of prisoners who escaped from hospitals and were never caught?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
That's it for today.
Ask yourself:
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.
What I need from you?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
