Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Here’s why exercise is so important if you’re a cancer survivor - The Washington Post
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Procrastinates a lot.
Ask yourself:
Why do atheists want to see God so badly?
That's it for today.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Is it ethical for same-sex couples to raise children?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Does not procrastinate.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
What is the opposite personality type of someone with ASPD (antisocial personality disorder)?
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
What was the craziest place that you had sex with someone in public?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Does believing in God and Satan cause schizophrenia?
“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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Liberals, why don't you like Conservatives?
What I need from you?
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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Hangs out with loser friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.).
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 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
