Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
That's it for today.
Making more friends is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
