How does one succeed in life?

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Procrastinates a lot.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Losing 20kg is a goal.

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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
What should you answer when someone says to you in French, "au plaisir de vous revoir"?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What I need from you?
Do not set goals—set systems.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Why is my elder sister so mean?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
That's it for today.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
When a narcissist mad at their new supply, do they take it out on the old supply?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
How do you get a teenage boy to care about hygiene?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Making more friends is a goal.
What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Does not procrastinate.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
What is the meaning of xx in texting?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Ask yourself:
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
“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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
