Last Updated: 23.06.2025 05:28
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

“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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
That's it for today.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

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

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Ask 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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

What I need from you?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What was the worst thing that ever happened on live TV?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
