Making more friends is a goal.

Do not set goals—set systems.
Ask yourself:
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
That's it for today.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
