How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 19.06.2025 02:42
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What I need from you?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Making more friends is a goal.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
How can people balance religious beliefs with seeking professional mental health care?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
What happens to single guys when they get older?
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Why do British people always write "xxx" after their names?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
How do flat Earthers explain the existence of other spherical planets?
Ask yourself:
“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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?
Procrastinates a lot.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
Major supermarket chain workers start strike across 4 cities - TheStreet
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Does not procrastinate.
How does gut health affect mental well-being?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
