How does one succeed in life?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Ask yourself:

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

In your opinion, who is the most overrated singer/band/artist in modern music history and why?

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.).

Has anyone ever read The Holy Bible completely through? If so, what was your overall impression of it?

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.

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.

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

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

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Making more friends is a goal.

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

Paying a coach with a detailed plan 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.

What if Homelander turned out to be a good guy instead of an evil milk drinking manchild? Nobody seems to touch on this much.

Do not set goals—set systems.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Have you ever met someone and something seemed so unusual about them but you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

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

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

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.

Why do people procrastinate and how can they stop?

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

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

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

How did you get to be a leftist?

That's it for today.

What I need from you?

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

What song are you listening to right now? What does it mean to you?

Hangs out with loser friends.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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

How do I develop the patience to read books?

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

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

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

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.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Does not procrastinate.

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

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

Living to your full potential is a goal.

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

“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.
