Do not set goals—set systems.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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.
How are Hinduism and Sikhism related, considering they both originated in Punjab, India?
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
What is the worst thing your sibling has done?
“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.
Does not procrastinate.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Sabrina Carpenter Shares New Song “Manchild”: Listen - Pitchfork
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, 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:
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What one thing makes someone a very mature person?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
What is your review of The Office (U.S. TV series)?
Ask yourself:
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
What I need from you?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
That's it for today.
Making more friends is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
