How does one succeed in life?

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

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

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

What is a good investment portfolio for someone starting in their 20s? 90% VT and 10% BND for a Roth IRA then 100% TDF for a 401k?

Quitting porn for 30 days 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.

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

Does the U.S military really prosecute military staff for cheating on their spouse, or do they close one eye if the cheating does not involve other military personnel since adultery is fairly common? Adultery is illegal in U.S military

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Ask yourself:

Why do women have sex with dogs?

Losing 20kg is a goal.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

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.

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

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

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

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

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.

“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.

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

Do not set goals—set systems.

Hangs out with loser friends.

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

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

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

What I need from you?

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

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 transforms the philosophical intellect?

Living to your full potential is a goal.

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

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

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

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 it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

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

Making more friends is a goal.

That's it for today.

Procrastinates a lot.

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

Does not procrastinate.

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.

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.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

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

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