How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Why has no country adopted the SA80/L85 rifle?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Does eating bread before bed make you fat? If so, why?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Ask yourself:
“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 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Does not procrastinate.

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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Hangs out with loser friends.
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.
What I need from you?
Are judges being lenient on hard criminals?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Making more friends is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
That's it for today.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
