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

That's it for today.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Do not set goals—set systems.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Making more friends is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Hangs out with loser friends.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

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

“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.
Does not procrastinate.
Ask yourself:
When you visit a store, do you go to shop or buy?
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan 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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
