Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
What is the naughtiest fantasy that you've lived out?
Ask yourself:
“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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, 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:
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide 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.
What I need from you?
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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
