How does one succeed in life?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
“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.
What I need from you?
Ask yourself:
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide 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:
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Hangs out with loser friends.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
What types of cushioning does Nike use in their running shoes?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
What topics are okay with you in comics and what topics should be totally off the table?
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Does not procrastinate.
What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Why do I want to give up on men?
Making more friends is a goal.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Procrastinates a lot.
That's it for today.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
