How does one succeed in life?

Making more friends is a goal.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Do not set goals—set systems.

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

“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.

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.

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

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

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.

Ask yourself:

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

If the Red Pill is supposed to be so bad, why are so many young men buying into it? What about Red Pill makes it appealing to them?

What I need from you?

Living to your full potential is a goal.

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

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

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.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

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

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

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

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

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

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

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.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

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

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

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

Hangs out with loser friends.

What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?

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)?

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

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

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

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

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

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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.

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

Does not procrastinate.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Procrastinates a lot.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

That's it for today.
