Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Saving $10,000 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.
What are the main issues that have historically and currently divided Republicans and Democrats?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Hangs out with loser friends.
What types of jobs can you get in marketing?
“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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Ask yourself:
What is a fun psychological trick to try on someone?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
What I need from you?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
What is a sermon to talk about men?
Making more friends is a goal.
That's it for today.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
