If I included cussing in "[YTP] Intoducing Apple Pro", then I wouldn't have been able to show it in my self introduction presentation in a high school class. I can't guarantee that cleanness wouldn't have a similar benefit for this meme.
If you fill your life with fulfilling interactions with people, hobbies and passions, you won’t even have the time for harmful addictions.
Those things would be part of a positive feedback loop, and it might not be able to be the first part. The ability to enjoy them is reduced until the brain is fully healed from the addiction.
My idea might make more sense if you don't think of it as being connected to intentions. Also, it fails to describe what comes after marriage is reached.
With that being said, I am not totally certain of how true my idea is.
Actually the main thing I'm on is a great adventure that started less than a year ago in which I built social confidence from scratch and recently figured out how to have balanced focuses when it comes to pursuing girls while still working hard enough to get out of my comfort zone.
The narrow view you're talking about is bad for success in dating, so it's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about things like working on yourself, having your own life, being an interesting person, becoming more confident, etc.
This assume nobody can reach their potential unless they marry.
In practice, my shower thought has nothing of value to those who are not on that path, but I gave this comment some thought anyway.
Technically, reaching 100% of our earthly potential requires experiencing the highest level of earthly love and using our ability to reproduce. In practice, no one reaches 100%, and we probably can reach 99% without a spouse and kids.
Even most religion would disagree with your idea considering most use chastity and isolation as a means to reach enlightenment.
Since I'm Catholic, I believe that in a religious vocation, earthly things are given up for supernatural things. In my post, I said "earthly" to exclude religious vocations and Heaven.
Properly moving closer to your full potential is how to get a girlfriend. Properly getting a girlfriend and moving closer to family life overall is a way to move closer to your full potential (in other words, living fully). They are the same actions The same actions constitute both.
Edit: should have said "overall mindset" instead of "actions"
