How does one succeed in life?

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Ask yourself:
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
How are max different from medical and minimum security prisons?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month 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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
What I need from you?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Does not procrastinate.
How can I get over a break up?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
Making more friends is a goal.
Are there any examples of outdated values in the Bible?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Procrastinates a lot.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
“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.
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
That's it for today.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
