The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Does not procrastinate.

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