How does one succeed in life?

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Why was Nietzsche against essentialism?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
“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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Ask yourself:
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Making more friends is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Does not procrastinate.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Ipsum quo molestiae officiis qui voluptates sequi veniam qui.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
In the last 500 years, have there been civilizations whose cruelty matched that of Nazi Germany?
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Is visiting holy shrines (dargahs) or graves haraam in Islam?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
What I need from you?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Are you afraid of being alone?
That's it for today.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Do not set goals—set systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Hangs out with loser friends.
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.
