How does one succeed in life?

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

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.

Why do people always talk about Ohio as it's a dangerous city?

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

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Why do I want to suck cock, after smoking methamphetamine?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Is anal sex allowed in Islam? It's not written anywhere in the Quran whether it's forbidden or not.

Hangs out with loser friends.

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

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

What is the lowest probability event you have personally witnessed?

Do not set goals—set 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.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

In bed, not in music, which is better, a drummer or a bass player?

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.

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.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Why is there a "double standard" applied to sex between a dog and a human? Why is it that to many who are at least mildly okay with bestiality, a WOMAN having sex with a male dog is fine, but a guy with a female dog is not?

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

What I need from you?

I have been married for 34 years, and I found out my wife lied, and cheated a lot back before we got married. Does she not change, or is it possible she is still a cheater?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?

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 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Living to your full potential is a goal.

In the TV show Supernatural, why is God portrayed as cruel?

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

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?

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

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.

Does not procrastinate.

What would be the lowest score with 9 strikes and no gutter balls?

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Ask yourself:

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Procrastinates a lot.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

That's it for today.

Making more friends is a goal.
