How does one succeed in life?

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
My ex got into a relationship within 2 weeks after a breakup. What should I do?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
When Chinese people see my pets, will they think of it as their food?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What I need from you?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Why do I feel so tired all the time even after a good night’s sleep?
Does not procrastinate.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
That's it for today.
Why do narcissists and especially covert narcissists always play the victim?
“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 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.).
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Ask yourself:
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Procrastinates a lot.
