How does one succeed in life?

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
That's it for today.
What I need from you?
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
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.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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 does Boko Haram attack its own Muslims?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Procrastinates a lot.
“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 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Has anyone ever had sex with their cousin? How did it start, and would you do it again?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What are the psychological reasons behind an extreme obsession with another human being?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Making more friends is a goal.
Why do some men like older women?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Ask yourself:
Do not set goals—set systems.
