How does one succeed in life?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Do not set goals—set systems.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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:
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
That's it for today.
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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Does not procrastinate.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Procrastinates a lot.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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?
Making more friends is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Ask yourself:
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
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?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
