How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Procrastinates a lot.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
That's it for today.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, 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.
Why do I want to give up on men?
Ask yourself:
Living to your full potential 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:
Can you tell me a depressing story?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What I need from you?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Do not set goals—set systems.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Making more friends is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Have you ever lied to your family? What were the circumstances?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
Is it possible for buyers to negotiate after an inspection if the appraisal is lower than expected?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losing 20kg is a goal.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
“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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
How is sex with a woman for gay men?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month 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.
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.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
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.
