Ask yourself:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
What was it like being spanked as a kid?
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Does not procrastinate.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

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.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Why does my crush make me jealous about having a girlfriend?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
What I need from you?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
That's it for today.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

Do not set goals—set systems.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.

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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

“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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Making more friends is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
