How does one succeed in life?

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

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

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

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

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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

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

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

Procrastinates a lot.

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

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

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

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

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

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

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

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