How does one succeed in life?

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What is one thing nice you did for someone today or something they did for you?
Making more friends is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Why don't people like Nickelback?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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):
AI alone cannot solve the productivity puzzle - Financial Times
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Why is Eric Clapton so roundly disliked among guitarists?
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
How do you write lyrics for a song that resonates with listeners?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Losing 20kg 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.
What I need from you?
Procrastinates a lot.
How can a hacker damage me, realistically?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Ask yourself:
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
What kind of book did you write after turning 55?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
That's it for today.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Hangs out with loser friends.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
“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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
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.
