How does one succeed in life?

Ask yourself:

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

What are the advantages of forming strategic partnerships?

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

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

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

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

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

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.

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.

Shouldn’t there be a short porn platform like TikTok?

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

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

So who has worn a cock cage. One of my guy FWBs put one on me last Sunday and left with the keys? I was very nervous at first but have calmed down. Told me he'll unlock it tomorrow.. Let me know.

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

What I need from you?

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

What are some of the greatest marketing disasters in history?

“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.

Do not set goals—set systems.
