There's a lot of literature out there these days about self-help and self-improvement. Do you engage in any practices that are purely meant to help you become a better person?

In many ways, this is the heart of yoga. To engage in the life-long quest for improving ourselves from the inside out.

I believe this involves two important steps:

Be open to new things. And know your resources.

A reader of Alive in the Fire recently shared a lovely resource for those of you out there looking to be better, and to encourage others in their quest to do so. It's a site called Betterfly (aptly named, don't you think?) I suggest you check it out, especially if you're ready to search for new yoga classes.

The only way to grow is to keep an open mind. This way you can accept others for who they are and accept unexpected situations as they arise.
