How does one succeed in life?

Hangs out with loser friends.
Do not set goals—set systems.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Ask yourself:
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
That's it for today.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

What I need from you?
Making more friends is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
If atheists are so positive that there is no God, where is their proof that He does not exist?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
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.
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.
Who is Meghan Markle and why is she so controversial on the Internet?
“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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Quitting porn for 30 days 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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
