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

Living to your full potential is a goal.
That's it for today.
What I need from you?
Qui omnis et eius rerum et dignissimos vel.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Making more friends is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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.
“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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Ask yourself:

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