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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
“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.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
