My New Year’s resolution is to immerse myself in the world of literature. I plan to read at least 20 books this year. By adhering to this resolution, I hope to enhance my personal growth and find happiness in the quiet time I spend with a book. As Walt Disney said, “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates’ loot on Treasure Island.” I think reading is a relaxing activity and everyone should resolve to read more books in the coming year.

I believe that the beginning of a New Year brings the chance to reinvent myself. I want to become a better human being by gaining pleasure from helping people and putting a smile on their face. I love making portraits and am learning western classical music. I wish to practise these hobbies more consistently and also take up a new hobby. I also want to work harder in school this year and improve my performance. Additionally, I want to spend quality time with my pet dog Coco, make him feel special and shower my love on him. Though these resolutions are tough, I hope to follow them diligently this year.

My resolution for this year involves being grateful to people and expressing gratitude for all the things I have in my life. By practising gratitude, I will be able to convert what I have into abundance. Gratitude helps us acknowledge all the good things around us and helps us feel happier and hopeful. By expressing gratitude, we can strengthen our relationships and even build new ones. I will maintain a gratitude journal, thank people and also be thankful to Mother Nature who has showered us with resources and beauty and fulfilled our needs.

My New Year’s resolution is to read more non-fiction books including biographies of people and self-help books. These books will provide insights into the lives of great personalities and provide me with valuable life lessons. I resolve to read newspapers and articles related to global affairs. I also plan to explore new fun activities this year. Additionally, I want to learn to say “No” to things I do not want. Furthermore, I want to inculcate the habits of kindness, responsibility and discipline.

I want to achieve many exciting goals in the year 2025. Driven by my passion for books and thirst for knowledge, my first goal is to read at least three books every month. Apart from this, I will research topics related to space, planets and the universe as I am very curious about this field. Lastly, I will publish the storybook that I am currently writing. My book is filled with amazing adventures. Following through on these resolutions will be challenging, but this year I resolve to stay focussed and achieve my dreams.
