How does one succeed in life?

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
That's it for today.

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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Is it possible for the U.S. government to get rid of the constitution for national safety?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
What I need from you?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon Sees Bond Market Crack — Why And What To Do - Forbes
Do not set goals—set 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:
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
What should I expect after a BBL surgery?
Making more friends is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
“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.
Why is the show The Big Bang Theory so hated?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
What causes you to be tired all the time and major headaches?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Procrastinates a lot.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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:
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) 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.
