What I need from you?

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

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.
Ask yourself:
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
