How does one succeed in life?

“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’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

What if Supergirl was a baby and not a teenager when she left Krypton? Who do you think will find her? What do you think things would be like?

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

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.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

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.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

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.

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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
