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 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
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.
How far does good behavior take you in a prison?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Procrastinates a lot.
Can you tell me a depressing story?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
What is something brutally honest that needs to be said?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What is your first experience having sex with older men?
Hangs out with loser friends.
What I need from you?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
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.
“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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Ask yourself:
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Does not procrastinate.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
