As we approach a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect, refocus, and realign with what truly matters. I’ve put together 14 powerful questions to help you close out 2024 with gratitude and step into 2025 with intention.

These questions are designed to guide your thoughts on where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you want to go. Whether you’re celebrating your wins, identifying growth opportunities, or planning your next big move, this reflection will give you the clarity and confidence to create a year filled with purpose and progress.

Take a few moments to reflect and answer these questions—it could be the best investment you make in yourself as we prepare for 2025.

Let’s make it your best year yet!

Reflect on 2024:

Take time to pause, reflect, and uncover insights from the past year. Growth begins with awareness.

1. What accomplishments made me proud?

Celebrate the wins that boosted your confidence and propelled you forward.

2. What lessons did I learn?

Reflect on moments of growth. What shaped your understanding or shifted your perspective?

3. Who and how did I love?

Evaluate how you nurtured relationships and connected with others meaningfully.

4. Who did I lead or influence?

Recognize how you empowered others and left a positive impact.

5. What held me back?

Identify blind spots. Were you preparing for success or repairing missed opportunities? Ask trusted people: What do you see about me that I might not see?

6. What limited my efficiency?

Consider where you need more consistency or what habits need to shift. What should you do more of, less of, or differently?

Assess Where You Are Now:

Before setting your goals, ensure you’re in the right place, surrounded by the right people.

7. Do I love what I do?

Are you passionate about your work, or is it time to pivot?

8. Who are my champions and cheerleaders?

Success isn’t a solo journey. Who inspires you, guides you, or lifts you up? Conduct a “relationship inventory”: Are the people you spend time with helping you grow, or are they holding you back?

Plan Your Direction for 2025:

Create a clear vision for the year ahead.

9. Am I willing to pay the price for my goals?

Commit to the uphill climb—success requires effort, and habits determine outcomes.

10. What is most important in 2025?

Define your priorities. What will truly matter by year’s end?

11. What do I need to change?

Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Identify what’s holding you back and take bold steps forward.

12. What is my word for 2025?

Choose a word that anchors your focus and intentions for the year.

13. What do I want to accomplish?

Be specific. Goals that are tracked are goals that get done.

14. Who will help me, and what’s my plan?

Life is a team sport. Surround yourself with accountability partners who push you to thrive.

Take these questions to heart, write your answers down, and step into 2025 with intention and confidence. Let’s make it your best year yet!
