First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Ask yourself:
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Making more friends is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
What is the meanest thing your husband has said to you?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Does centrifugal force teach us about gravity?
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Why don't we hear our own snoring?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Do other British people agree that the UK should reconquer Ireland?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
What I need from you?
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.
“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.
Does not procrastinate.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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 the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Procrastinates a lot.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
