How does one succeed in life?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
What I need from you?
Ask yourself:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Why won't Canada build their own fighter jet?
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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hangs out with loser friends.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Quitting porn for 30 days 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.
That's it for today.
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.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

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.
Does not procrastinate.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Yankees get completely manhandled by Dodgers in ghastly blowout loss - New York Post
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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 are some creepy bestiality-promoting questions obviously asked for sexual gratification?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
“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.
Why are Trump's and Khan's experiences with authorities in the US and Pakistan similar?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
