An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
That's it for today.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Making more friends is a goal.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Who are the K-Pop group members that you solo stan?

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
“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.
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.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
