What I need from you?
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.

That's it for today.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Ask yourself:
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide 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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can you maintain self-control?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
What story do you have involving a public restroom?
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.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
“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.
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Eligendi molestiae corrupti numquam voluptatum doloremque laudantium eum.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
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.).
Hangs out with loser friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Making more friends is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Procrastinates a lot.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
