How does one succeed in life?

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
“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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
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.
Does not procrastinate.

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.
Making more friends is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
That's it for today.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

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.
What I need from you?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Hangs out with loser friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
What is the best TV to consider from an interior design perspective?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Ask yourself:
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Do not set goals—set systems.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
