How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
That's it for today.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
What I need from you?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Ask yourself:

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
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.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
“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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
What is a sermon to talk about men?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
How do I get over a long-term relationship breakup?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Making more friends is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
