An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

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 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Ask yourself:

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Hangs out with loser friends.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
“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.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Do humans know everything they need to know?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Does not procrastinate.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Do not set goals—set systems.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
That's it for today.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Making more friends 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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
What I need from you?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
