How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

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.

What do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Making more friends is a goal.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Losing 20kg 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.

Is there an ideal number of sessions in individual psychotherapy? Is there any point in continuing after reaching it?

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

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.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

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.

Procrastinates a lot.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Ask yourself:

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

That's it for today.

What I need from you?

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
