That's it for today.
What I need from you?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
How do teachers justify punishing a student for fighting back against their bullies?
Procrastinates a lot.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Ask yourself:
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Which is better, a naked picture of some one you know or porn videos?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Making more friends is a goal.
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.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
“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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
