How does one succeed in life?

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
What is the difference between Michael Corleone’s marriage to Apollonia Vitelli and Kay Adams?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
“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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
That's it for today.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
According to Trump, Ukraine started the war. Why?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Should Pete Rose's record as the all-time hits leader be recognized and celebrated?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Do not set goals—set systems.
Ask yourself:
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Does not procrastinate.
Hangs out with loser friends.
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.

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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
How can I remove decimals in math?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Making more friends is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
What I need from you?
