How does one succeed in life?

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

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Why do flat-Earthers think the Earth is flat?

Procrastinates a lot.

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

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Why can't the ISS take a picture of Earth and prove to the Flat Earth Society that Earth is not really flat?

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

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.

Do you think that drug addiction is a symptom of larger societal ills? What is it about our culture that leaves so many feeling like they're inadequate, trying any ill to find a cure?

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

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

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.

Why has no country adopted the SA80/L85 rifle?

Making more friends is a goal.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

That's it for today.

Who are your 5 or so favorite Quora people?

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

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.

Does not procrastinate.

It’s been over a month since I stopped taking sertraline but why do I still feel side effects like brain zaps and anxiety mood changes? The root cause of anxiety it’s your thinking and I perfectly master that better than before so it’s hard lately.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Ask yourself:

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

What’s the weirdest phone call you have ever received?

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.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Ossett prostate cancer patient urges men to have checks - BBC

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

What I need from you?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

How do military families handle communication when a service member is injured overseas?

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

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Why are most girls not open to the idea of anal sex?

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

“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.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Did you swallow cum the first time you sucked a penis?

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

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Why do atheists want to see God so badly?

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

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

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.

Do not set goals—set systems.

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

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

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.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Hangs out with loser friends.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
