How does one succeed in life?

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Making more friends is a goal.
Eius sequi culpa animi quod delectus deleniti deserunt.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

That's it for today.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Does not procrastinate.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
Ask yourself:
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
What do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
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 is your review of Hartley`s High School, Kolkata?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Are narcissists happy people generally?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What I need from you?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
“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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
