Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Procrastinates a lot.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Does not procrastinate.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Living to your full potential 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.
“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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
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?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Making more friends is a goal.

What are the bitter truths of life one should know?
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Why am I sweating so much at night even though my room is really cold?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Ask yourself:
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
