How does one succeed in life?

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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What I need from you?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Ask yourself:
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Hangs out with loser friends.

That's it for today.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
“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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Making more friends is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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)?
Can you explain the difference between a shower cap and a hair bonnet?
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Procrastinates a lot.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Does not procrastinate.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
