How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 23.06.2025 02:00
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
What are the 10 things you regret doing in your life?
What I need from you?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Why are people nowadays so into anal sex?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Hangs out with loser friends.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Living to your full potential is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
What is one thing you've learned from life?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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.
Can humans drink battery water?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Would you date a Muslim guy? Why/why not?
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Ask yourself:
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
That's it for today.
Procrastinates a lot.
What's a band that is really popular that you don't like? Why?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Does not procrastinate.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
Making more friends is a goal.
“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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
