How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 03.07.2025 09:49
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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Why am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?
Procrastinates a lot.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Non distinctio minus inventore tempora repudiandae mollitia.
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
What I need from you?

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Do not set goals—set systems.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Does not procrastinate.
“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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Can you share a picture of your favorite outfit and explain why you love it?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
That's it for today.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Ask yourself:
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Making more friends is a goal.
