How does one succeed in life?

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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

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

Do you agree with Kamala Harris that Donald Trump is dangerous?

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

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

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Which branch of engineering is better: ECE or Civil?

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

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

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

What do you think are the real reasons Matt Gaetz just withdrew his name for Attorney General in the upcoming Trump administration?

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Does not procrastinate.

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

What are some things you would change about Avatar: The Last Airbender if you were to redo the series?

Do not set goals—set systems.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Making more friends is a goal.

Dear atheist, do you realise that there is a God watching over you who will one day judge and condemn you for every wrong thing you have said and done before casting you into the lake of fire?

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.

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

That's it for today.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

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

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

“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.

How do you explain the involvement of a mainland Chinese visitor, her local relative, and a 65-year-old friend of the latter in the suspected money laundering case seized by Hong Kong police?

What I need from you?

Living to your full potential is a goal.

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.

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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

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

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

It has been said that people with ADHD can often hyperfocus. Can that be an advantage?

Ask yourself:

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

What is truer than that which is true?

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

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

Is 1500 calories enough for a 5’3 15-year-old who is non-active?

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

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

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

Why do people procrastinate and how can they stop?

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

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

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 would you think you're fit to be a model?

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

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

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

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Hangs out with loser friends.

Procrastinates a lot.

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.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

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