Surpassing Goals and Setting New Horizons: My Reading Journey from 2024 to 2025
As we welcome the new year, it’s a perfect time to reflect on our accomplishments and set new targets. In 2024, I set a modest goal for myself to read 16 books. Reading has always been a way for me to unwind and learn, but last year, it became more than just a hobby—it became a journey of discovery and achievement. To my own surprise, I didn’t just meet my goal; I soared past it, finishing 23 books and covering a whopping 8,037 pages!
This experience was illuminating in several ways. Not only did it reaffirm my love for reading, but it also pushed me to explore genres and authors I might not have considered before. The books ranged from technical tomes that enhanced my professional skills to imaginative works of fiction that transported me to different worlds. Each page turned added a new layer to my understanding and appreciation of the written word, making the year both enriching and intellectually satisfying.
Inspired by last year’s success, I’ve decided to ambitiously set my 2025 reading goal at 30 books. This new target is not just about quantity, but also about continuing to diversify the types of books I engage with. I plan to delve deeper into non-fiction, exploring topics in history and science, while still enjoying the fictional realms of fantasy and mystery that I love so much.
Reaching this goal will undoubtedly require discipline and dedication, especially with a busy schedule. However, the joy and knowledge gained from each book make every minute spent reading worthwhile. I’m excited about the challenges and discoveries that lie ahead in my 2025 reading adventure.
For those looking to embark on their own reading journey, or anyone seeking to surpass their previous achievements, let’s remind ourselves that goals are not just endpoints but stepping stones to greater achievements. Here’s to a year filled with wonderful reads and inspiring stories!
