Losing 20kg is a goal.

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.

What I need from you?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Living to your full potential is a goal.

That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

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

Does not procrastinate.
Making more friends 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.

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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
