A Reflection on the Wisdom of the Dalai Lama

The real destroyer of our peace of mind isn’t an external weapon or enemy, but our own destructive emotions. Neither our friends nor even the Buddha provide an opportunity to practice patience in the way that a hostile person does. And in so doing, an enemy can become our teacher.

Building Your Best Life

In our quest to build our best lives, we often focus on external factors—our careers, relationships, financial stability, and the environments we cultivate. These are all important aspects of a fulfilling life, but as the Dalai Lama wisely reminds us, the real destroyer of our peace of mind isn’t an external weapon or enemy, but our own destructive emotions. By integrating this profound insight into the philosophy of Build Your Best (BYB), we can truly create a life that is not just successful on the outside, but deeply fulfilling and peaceful on the inside.

New Beginnings: The Legacy of Caesar’s Calendar Reform and the Significance of January 1

The start of a new year is a time for reflection and renewal, a moment when we look back at the past and plan for the future. This tradition of new beginnings, marked by the celebration of January 1 as the first day of the year, has its roots in the reforms of Julius Caesar, one of history’s most influential leaders. Caesar’s decision to institute January 1 as the start of the year was not only a practical change but also a symbolic gesture that honors the Roman god Janus, the deity of beginnings, transitions, and duality.
