How does one succeed in life?

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
“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.
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.
Why can’t conservatives accept the fact that they are stupid?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Do not set goals—set systems.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
What I need from you?
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.
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

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

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

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Procrastinates a lot.
Ask yourself:
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
