Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Ask yourself:
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Do snipers lay on top of tank turrets during combat?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Procrastinates a lot.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Making more friends is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
NASA Science Community Budget Meeting POSTPONED - NASA Watch
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

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.).
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
“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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Does not procrastinate.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
What is the sum of X+XX+XXX+XXXX?
Hangs out with loser friends.
What I need from you?
Living to your full potential is a goal.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
That's it for today.
