What I need from you?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
As a woman, what would be you response to a male friend’s offer of a full body massage?
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hangs out with loser friends.
Procrastinates a lot.
What’s the best way to get over someone you love?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Is it possible to permanently quit pornography?
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
“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.
Why would Hugh Grant cheat on Elizabeth Hurley?
Making more friends is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Scientists discover that dogs can alert humans to this quickly-spreading disease - Earth.com
That's it for today.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Ask yourself:
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Does not procrastinate.
