So, 2024 is officially coming to an end. Yes, this year is almost over- believe it or not. I had created some goals at the start of the year to help keep me on track of what I wanted to achieve throughout the year. Let’s see how many of my 2024 goals I kept and which ones I didn’t:
Publish My First Book
I did it! One of my proudest moments and thanks to the support you guys showed me, it was not only released by the #1 release on Amazon in the Contemporary Poetry category. So thank you, I would not have been able to achieve this goal without you guys.
Master The Art Of Playing Guitar
Yeah… unfortunately this year got so insanely busy I barely had time to practice. But there’s always next year!
Connect With My Inner Child
This has been one I have been consciously working on throughout the year with the help of my wonderful therapist. I’ve done so many things I wanted to as a child that I didn’t get the chance to do, I also did a lot of things I enjoyed as a child that I no longer did as an adult. Like during Christmas, my family went on a picnic with my cousins and uncle. We ended up playing badminton which I used to love doing when I was younger and turns out I’m still awesome at it! It was so much fun!
Care Less
I don’t know about this one. In some ways, I think I have been successful in caring less about what others say and just living my life. But at the same time, I’m only human and I am who I am so I did sometimes care and get my feelings hurt. I didn’t succeed with this goal but I did try my best.
Shave My Head
I did it, hehe! I know, I hid it from you guys for months but only because I’m dramatic and love a big reveal. Also, I was only bald for like a few days. My hair grows really fast so it was back in less than a week lol. Here’s what it currently looks like:
Try To Be Healthier
I definitely tried my best to be as healthy as possible this year. Between being more active and eating a much healthier diet, I think I can definitely say this goal was achieved.
Travel More
Unfortunately, I was not able to travel much this year. I wish I could have but I was so busy with work, life and the chaos that comes with moving that it just didn’t work out. However, I did explore Nairobi a lot more and even went out of my comfort zone to try new things. So no, this goal was not a success but I tried my best.
Conclusion
As expected, I was not able to keep all my 2024 goals but I was pleasantly surprised to see that I kept most of them. And those that were unsuccessful, I’m still proud because I tried my best. With the crazy year I’ve had, it’s still a big deal to me that I kept so many of my 2024 goals and tried so hard.
What goals did you keep this year? Which goals did you drop the ball on? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!
