How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 19.06.2025 02:14

That's it for today.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Which bands became massively popular for covering songs rather than recording originals?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Procrastinates a lot.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
What makes cars from companies like Dacia or BYD appealing compared to Tesla, especially in Europe?
Ask yourself:
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
What does it mean to you to live a life that reflects biblical values?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan 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.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Does not procrastinate.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Making more friends is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
What I need from you?
Can you describe what it's like to live in a town known for Harley Davidson motorcycles?
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)?
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.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Hawaii Five-O' actor David Hekili Kenui Bell dies at 57 - Entertainment Weekly
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Can relationship issues cause depression?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
