How does one succeed in life?

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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
What I need from you?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
How old is planet Earth? Is it 4.5 billion years old or 6,000 years old?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
That's it for today.
Does not procrastinate.
What are people discussing on BookTok?
Procrastinates a lot.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
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:
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
“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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Making more friends is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
