Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
“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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

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.
What I need from you?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Saving $10,000 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.
