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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Hangs out with loser friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

What I need from you?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
That's it for today.
How do you confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?
“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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Autem nesciunt sint et reprehenderit non fuga beatae et.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Making more friends is a goal.

Ask yourself:
Do not set goals—set systems.
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.
