My Story♡

This time, I’m sharing my story—the journey and evolution of VENUSY🌿

Hello, everyone! Hi, I’m Vina, also known as VENUSY. ☺️✨

Over the years, my journey has evolved—from being fueled purely by determination to embracing the flow of life with balance and ease.

In this introduction, I’ve gathered defining moments from my journey—the lessons, struggles, and realizations that shaped who I am today.

1. A Past Fueled by Sheer Determination

In the past, I was relentless in my pursuit of my dreams, pushing myself to the limit.

Determined to become a flight attendant for an international airline, I faced years of challenges, ultimately achieving my goal despite being in my 30s with no prior experience. The airline application process was highly competitive, akin to an audition, requiring extensive preparation—TOEIC studies, self-analysis, and rigorous interview practice.

However, the more effort I put in without seeing results, the more I doubted myself. While I kept moving toward my goal, I was also pushing myself to exhaustion.

2. The Shift Towards a Lighter Way of Living

Even after realizing my dream, I found that chasing external success alone didn’t bring true fulfillment. This realization led me to shift my focus from simply “working hard” to “living comfortably and joyfully.”

From 2020 onward, I embraced self-reflection, prioritizing time for introspection. Rather than comparing myself to others, I discovered that true happiness comes from within.

3. A Period of Deep Reflection & Realization

During this time, I dedicated myself to journaling and self-dialogue. Whether through long-distance running or intensive spiritual training, I gradually transitioned from seeking external validation to valuing inner peace.

I once believed that “achievements define worth,” but now I understand that “enjoying the process is what truly matters.” No matter how much I refined my external world, inner harmony was the key to lasting fulfillment.

4. The Less I Strive, the More Fulfilled I Become

Today, I live freely, following my heart’s guidance like a traveler carried by the wind.

I have learned that even without forcing change, moments of peace and fulfillment naturally emerge when we let go of unnecessary pressure.

By releasing the burden of “always having to push forward,” life has become much lighter and more enjoyable.
