How does one succeed in life?

That's it for today.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
I'm British and feel ashamed of the crimes of British colonialism. What should I do?
Do not set goals—set systems.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
Ask yourself:
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
What great song was "ruined" once you really listened to the lyrics?
“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.
Does not procrastinate.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Have you had any paranormal activity situations happen personally to you or someone you know?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Hangs out with loser friends.
What I need from you?
At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?
Procrastinates a lot.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
What do you love doing for fun?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
What is your twin flame story?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Do you agree with Elon Musk's direction for the US Office of Personnel Management?
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
