How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 03.07.2025 01:52
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Does not procrastinate.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What is one thing which you cannot stop however hard you try?
That's it for today.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Ask yourself:

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
CVS is shutting down 271 stores in 18 states. Is your pharmacy affected? - NJ.com
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Losing 20kg is a goal.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
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.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
What is the difference between Music.ai and Moises.ai?
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.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

What I need from you?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Making more friends is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
“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.
