How does one succeed in life?

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Procrastinates a lot.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions - 404 Media
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Make-A-Wish helps Tacoma cancer patient fulfill dream of giving back to fellow children - KOMO
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Report: Steelers expect to have a deal with T.J. Watt by the start of the season - NBC Sports
“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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
That's it for today.
Liam Coen: I think Trevor Lawrence’s footwork has drastically improved - NBC Sports
Do not set goals—set systems.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Does turmeric help fight cancer? If so, how?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Making more friends is a goal.
Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
When do you feel most peaceful ever?
Ask yourself:
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Colorado confirms 3 more infections in airport-linked measles outbreak - CIDRAP
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Republicans, why do you support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump?
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What I need from you?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
