“What Will You Do To Make This Your Year?”: Now That It’s 2025
Here we are—2025. A fresh start, a blank slate, and another chance to rewrite your story. Now that it’s 2025, let me ask you this: What steps will you take this year to make it the one where everything changes? What will you do to make this your year?
I’ve been where you might be right now—full of hope, setting goals, and making plans, only to find myself stuck in the same place months later. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? You start out motivated, but somehow, life gets in the way. The goals stay on paper, and the action never really happens.
I know how it feels to want something so badly but not know how to get there. That’s why I want to share what I’ve learned and how you can make 2025 your breakthrough year. Because trust me, it’s possible. It just requires a shift in mindset, a willingness to act, and the right support system to help you along the way.
1. Stop Dreaming, Start Doing
Let’s be real—dreams are beautiful, but they don’t pay the bills, build your dream body, or create the life you want. Only action can do that. I used to be someone who dreamed big but hesitated to take the first step. I was afraid of failing, of looking foolish, or of not knowing enough. Sound familiar?
This year, let’s stop letting fear hold us back. Start small. Take one step today, no matter how insignificant it might seem. If you want to get healthier, go for a walk or drink an extra glass of water. If you want to build your career, send that email or research a skill you need to learn. The key is to do something—anything—that moves you forward.
2. Build a Plan That Works for You
Have you ever set a goal and then felt overwhelmed by how to achieve it? That used to be me. I’d have all these big ideas but no clue how to turn them into reality. The result? I’d get stuck, procrastinate, and give up.
This year, I’m doing things differently, and I want you to do the same. Take your big goal and break it into smaller, manageable steps. Write it down, set deadlines, and hold yourself accountable. For example, if your goal is to save money, figure out how much you need to save each month and track your progress.
Having a clear plan makes all the difference. It turns your dream into something tangible and achievable. And when you see those small wins adding up, it’ll motivate you to keep going.
3. Surround Yourself with the Right People
This one is huge. I can’t tell you how much my life changed when I found the right people to support me. For years, I tried to do everything on my own, thinking I didn’t need help. But the truth is, no one succeeds alone.
Whether it’s a mentor, a coach, or a group of like-minded individuals, having the right support system is a game-changer. These are the people who will cheer you on, give you honest feedback, and help you stay on track when things get tough.
If you don’t have that kind of support right now, start looking for it. And if you need someone to talk to, I’m here. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, and I’d love to help you find your way forward.
4. Let Go of Perfection and Embrace Consistency
I used to be a perfectionist, and it held me back more times than I can count. I’d wait for the “perfect” moment to start or try to get everything just right before taking action. But here’s the thing: perfection doesn’t exist, and waiting for it will only keep you stuck.
This year, let’s focus on consistency instead. Show up every day, even if it’s not perfect. Some days will be harder than others, and that’s okay. What matters is that you keep going. Over time, those small, consistent actions will lead to big results.
5. Invest in Yourself—Because You’re Worth It
This might be the most important lesson I’ve learned: If you want to achieve big things, you have to invest in yourself. That means putting time, energy, and resources into your growth.
For me, that meant reading books, taking courses, and working with mentors who could guide me. It also meant taking care of my mental and physical health so I could show up as my best self.
What does investing in yourself look like for you? Maybe it’s learning a new skill, starting therapy, or simply taking time to rest and recharge. Whatever it is, make it a priority. You are your greatest asset, and the more you invest in yourself, the more you’ll be able to achieve.
Conclusion: What Will You Do To Make This Your Year
This year can be the one where everything changes—but only if you’re willing to do things differently. Stop dreaming and start doing. Build a plan, surround yourself with the right people, and commit to showing up consistently, even when it’s hard.
I know it’s not always easy, but I also know it’s worth it. If you’re ready to take action and need support, don’t hesitate to reach out. There’s no shame in asking for help—it’s one of the smartest things you can do.
So, what will you do to make this your year? The choice is yours. Let’s make this the year we stop waiting and start creating the life we deserve.
