How does one succeed in life?

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

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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

Procrastinates a lot.

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

Do not set goals—set systems.

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

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

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

That's it for today.

Does not procrastinate.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

“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.

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

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

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

Hangs out with loser friends.

What are some common medications prescribed for anxiety while traveling?

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.

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

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

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

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

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

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

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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

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

Ask yourself:

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?
