After a hospital visit shook their faith in conventional success, the speaker found Thích Nhất Hạnh's Peace Is Every Step in a Vietnamese mall and began a mindfulness practice. They learned that peace isn't a destination but something found in each breath and step.
I remember so vividly that I looked up at the sky and was thinking, what am I doing? This is not success. This is not happiness. This is not what I want. And I remember that afternoon after my hospital visit, I remember I was on my couch and I chose to have a better life for myself. I didn't know how. I had no idea, But a few days later, when I was walking one of the malls in Vietnam and the L'Oréal office was there, I came across a book from Thích Nhất Hạnh, Peace Is Every Step, and I opened it. And that's how my mindfulness journey started, to understand that peace is in every step or in every breath that we take.
