How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 29.06.2025 02:44
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Why are Americans obese? Is it the food or is it the psychology?
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
“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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Does not procrastinate.
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.
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:
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more 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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Nemo harum distinctio cupiditate soluta nesciunt beatae harum.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.

Making more friends is a goal.
What I need from you?
Ask yourself:
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
That's it for today.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
