Does not procrastinate.
How do you leave a relationship when you are still in love?

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.

What I need from you?
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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Hangs out with loser friends.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Ask yourself:
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
