How does one succeed in life?

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Ask yourself:

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
What I need from you?
Will norovirus surge early again this year? CDC urges tracking of new strain. - CBS News
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
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 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Procrastinates a lot.
Making more friends is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more 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.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Why do creationists ask for proof of evolution and then ignore the answers?
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Can the Beckham brand survive reports of family feud? - BBC
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Why do I sweat (mostly on face) when I eat usually spicy food?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
That's it for today.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
