How does one succeed in life?

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
What is the story of how you met your spouse?
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

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

“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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Do not set goals—set systems.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Does not procrastinate.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What I need from you?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Procrastinates a lot.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Ask yourself:
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
