How does one succeed in life?

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

That's it for today.

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 seemingly minor decision or moment in your past ended up having a massive impact on your entire life trajectory?

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

What I need from you?

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

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

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:

What is your juiciest sex story?

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.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Will Colapinto replace Doohan as second driver at Alpine Team during the 2025 season or is just a rumour of Argentine press?

Hangs out with loser friends.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

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:

Do not set goals—set systems.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

What are some examples of a threat to democracy in India?

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Why The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?

Procrastinates a lot.

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.

“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.

How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

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.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Making more friends is a goal.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Does not procrastinate.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

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.).

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.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
