How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 24.06.2025 01:49
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Can you share 100 facts about yourself?
Does not procrastinate.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
What nonsense did you hear today in India that made you laugh?
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.
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.
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.
Is Russia now too weak to save the Assad dictatorship in Syria again?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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 truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Making more friends is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
What I need from you?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Procrastinates a lot.
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 money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
That's it for today.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Ask yourself:
Hangs out with loser friends.
“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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Do not set goals—set systems.
