How does one succeed in life?

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Ask yourself:

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
What I need from you?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Mission Control: Eye of the Storm - NASA (.gov)
Hangs out with loser friends.
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:
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Aut explicabo sapiente quis consequuntur fuga consectetur fugit.
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Does not procrastinate.
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Do humans know everything they need to know?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Making more friends is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
“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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Will you share your wife? Can she take both of us at the same time?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
That's it for today.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
