My 2025 Goals & Intentions
As the new year gets closer, I am thinking about my 2025 goals and intentions. For me, 2025 is about growth and creativity—but also about making real, meaningful changes. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what matters most to me and how I want my life to feel, and this year is my chance to turn those ideas into action.
A big part of that is diving into art in a way I never have before. I’ve always admired art, but this time, I want to get my hands dirty—literally. I want to learn to draw, paint, and understand the stories behind the art I love. Museums around Atlanta are going to be my new favorite hangouts, and I’ve got a whole lineup of books, videos, and practice sessions planned to help me really connect with this side of myself. It’s not just about learning techniques; it’s about seeing the world differently.
Another thing I’m working on is creating more space for what’s important. Social media has a way of eating up my time without me even noticing. This year, I’m setting some boundaries—just an hour a day—so I can spend more time on things that matter, like reading. I’ve always loved getting lost in a great book, and I’m aiming to read two a month this year. Whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, I want stories and ideas to inspire me and fuel my creativity.
I’m also making it a priority to stay connected with the people in my life. That means grabbing coffee with Liz every month, heading to creative s meetups, doing photoshootwith new models, and maybe even bringing my D&D group back to life. These moments—whether big or small—are where the best memories come from, and I want more of that in my life.
Then there’s my health. I’m not just looking to get in shape; I want to build habits that make me stronger, more resilient, and ready for whatever comes next. This means working out consistently, practicing yoga every week, and getting to a point where I can run three miles without stopping. It’s not just about the physical part, though. There’s something empowering about pushing myself and seeing what I’m c
And finally, I’m looking forward to sharing some amazing adventures with my wife, Leslie. I’m promising her 12 new experiences this year, whether that’s exploring new places or just trying something totally out of the ordinary. It’s our way of making sure we’re not just living life but really savoring it.
For me, 2025 isn’t just about checking boxes or hitting targets, that is why I am calling my it my 2025 goals & intentions list. It’s about transformation and creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. It’s about choosing to show up for myself and the people I care about in ways that truly matter. I have no idea exactly how the year will unfold, but I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
