How does one succeed in life?

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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
What is the naughtiest fantasy that you've lived out?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Does not procrastinate.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
How has your life changed since starting college?
Hangs out with loser 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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Making more friends is a goal.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
That's it for today.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Ask yourself:
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.
How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?
Procrastinates a lot.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Are LGBT people accepted in Japan?
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
