How does one succeed in life?

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.
“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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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 I need from you?
Ask yourself:
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Do not set goals—set systems.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
What does it feel like to "lose your looks" to age?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
