How does one succeed in life?

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.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.

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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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 can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Ask yourself:

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
“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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
That's it for today.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
What I need from you?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
