How does one succeed in life?

Ask yourself:
Do not set goals—set systems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Making more friends is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Have you ever heard of the god Priapus being the same as the god Phosphorus?
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Do all therapists specialize in one specific type of therapy, or are they trained in multiple types?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Does not procrastinate.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
How can I be okay with being ugly? What is the bright side?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What I need from you?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Why do narcissists avoid talking about the real issues?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hangs out with loser friends.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Procrastinates a lot.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
What is the dirtiest thing you have witnessed your wife do?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
How do I build muscle easily with isometrics?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What are the most significant instances of romantic jealousy in the Harry Potter series?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
That's it for today.
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.
“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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
