How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
How do I overcome attachment issues?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Why are people becoming increasingly hostile to pro-lifers? I am pro-life.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Why are Republicans such intolerant people?
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Ask yourself:
What is an easy way to get your driver's license?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Procrastinates a lot.
Does not procrastinate.
What I need from you?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, 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.
Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
Which one is better to guys, boobs or butt?
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Hangs out with loser friends.
That's it for today.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
