How does one succeed in life?

Do not set goals—set systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Microsoft makes huge change to Windows - TheStreet
Quitting porn for 30 days 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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
What do people with very high IQs do all day?
Ask yourself:
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Does not procrastinate.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
“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.

What I need from you?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
That's it for today.
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.
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.
Jonathan Anderson has been appointed sole creative director of Dior - Vogue Business
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Making more friends is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Hangs out with loser friends.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
