Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Making more friends is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
What celebrity do you admire the most?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, 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.
What is it like to use a Fleshlight?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
What transforms the philosophical intellect?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
If there exists a “New York of Australia”, is it Sydney or Melbourne?
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.
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.
In the last 500 years, have there been civilizations whose cruelty matched that of Nazi Germany?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Does not procrastinate.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Do most narcissists have good intentions as long as you are under their control?
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
That's it for today.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
What I need from you?
Ask yourself:
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.
