First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
What is the STAR interview method?
Making more friends is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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:
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Procrastinates a lot.
That's it for today.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
In your humble opinion, why does the narcissist mistake kindness for weakness in some people?
Do not set goals—set systems.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Ask yourself:
What I need from you?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Does not procrastinate.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
