These guidelines keep the individual on a road of self-improvement and self-development. They are not intended to provide a finished product, but serve as a new starting point for individuals on the journey to responsible living. Under the philosophy and concept of THE BETTER WAY, the components help people help themselves by reclaiming and working toward becoming the Better Self inherent in each individual. They offer ways for personal development, spiritual enrichment, character building, finding joy and satisfaction in something a part from work, and ways to be of service to fellow travelers in the journey of life.
