		<description>Krissy,

Thanks for your feedback.

I agree wholeheartedly.  That was the point of my blog.

Helping yourself does, indeed, help others, as you state.  Good point!

		<description>I don't like to call it "self-improvement," I call it "self-growth."  You stated one should "take advantage of what aspsects might , or will, benefit you."  I like to maintain, however, that self-growth is more than selfish, in even a further reaching way than you do.  If we improve ourselves -- allow ourselves to grow -- mentally, physically, spiritually, etc we effect the world in so many ways for the good.  Not only do we improve ourselves, but we improve others and the world.  If I could use your relaxation example -- if a mom, for example, were to  learn relaxation, she would perhaps no longer scream at her children, if she were prone to that sort of thing. The children would be happier, and grow up more well adjusted.  Society would be better for it.  Everything we do -- good and bad -- has a ripple effect.  If you eat and exercise well, for example, it doesn't make you vain, it saves you money at the doctor's office.  It can also lower insurance rates for the common good of all.  As I stated, helping yourself is NOT selfish.
