What I need from you?
Hangs out with loser friends.
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.
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
“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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Can you list every album you have ever listened to?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Ask yourself:
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Is LGBTQ destroying the world?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Does not procrastinate.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, 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:
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Procrastinates a lot.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
That's it for today.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Do not set goals—set systems.
