How does one succeed in life?

What I need from you?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

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.
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:
Are Latter-day Saints watch the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? And if so, what do you think?
Making more friends is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Procrastinates a lot.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
That's it for today.

Ask yourself:
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
“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.
Can you explain the meaning of "mint condition" in relation to antiques or collectibles?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
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.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
