Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Ask yourself:
GM has another affordable EV in the works and it’s not the next-gen Chevy Bolt - Electrek
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Nintendo Switch 2 passes JerryRigEverything durability test with one major flaw - Dexerto
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Making more friends is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
All four iPhone 17 models just tipped for ‘metalens’ upgrade - Tom's Guide
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
The ‘golden summer of cheap flights’: Now’s the time for last-minute deals - CNN
Procrastinates a lot.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
What I need from you?
England is launching a gonorrhea vaccine. Is Canada next? - Yahoo
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
When a narcissist mad at their new supply, do they take it out on the old supply?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
That's it for today.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
“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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Does not procrastinate.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
