An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What was the worst spanking you got growing up?
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.

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