Vic Johnson a great mentor of mine, introduce me to a 10 step New Year’s Toast many years ago and it remains one of my favorites. This year, I’ve added another 6 steps to this long time toast.
In 2010 may you:
1) Achieve more – We do this through persistence, time, personal growth and by investing in ourselves.
2) Believe more – This is done through faith. Believing it can be and will be accomplished.
3) Celebrate more -We all get so busy chasing things, usually goals, that we forget to take credit for what victories enter our lives.
4) Do More – Not that you all have been sitting on the couch but do more of the right things that will lead you to your dreams.
5) Expect more- You get what you expect in life. Have no fear ! Take more chances.
6) Fail more -success is growth through failure. There are no failures, just lessons.
7) Love more – Love everyone. Become more than you are. Love all people, especially those close to you. Love them more. Really love them !
8) Relax more – Do the things you love . Play golf, go hiking, go fishing, do some woodcarving !
9) Reach for more. Go for it–never ever settle ! Go for the moon !
10 ) Read more – We don’t read enough. Any answer you need can be found in a book.
Now 6 more :
11) Laugh more- We all take life way too serious. Laugh, enjoy. Let some of that bottled up stress go.
12) Think more – We are 500-600 % smarter than we ever give ourselves credit for. Within you are the answers you are seeking.
13) Reflect more – Take some quiet time and look where you are, where you want to go and what is or is not working for you.
14) Be supported more -We all need cheerleaders in our lives. Most of us have very few and those we have sure could cheer louder !
15) Attract more- The law of attraction is alive and well. Focus on what you want . Visualize it and it will over time become part of your life.
16) Chill more- Learn to let go. Let things be. Give it time. If you are spiritual-Let go and Let God !
Happy New Year !

These are great. May I add one more to the list?
“Serve more”-be of service to others even more this year than last year.
Jeff,
Thanks, I couldn’t agree more !! Great addition !
Doug
I wrote these all down in my Serenity Prayer spiral. I did update number 6 from Fail More to Lesson More. I want to learn, not fail. Negative word that by simply using it, I wonder if you are setting yourself up to do just that even though you are learning lessons from your “non-successes”. I also love Jeff B.’s addition of “serve more”. Thank you for sharing these Doug.
Tami, I’m glad the toast helped. If we all spent time on each of these points on a regular basis our focus and results would be unbelievable. I also don’t like negative words but here it is used as an attention grabber. You are right, Jeff’s comment was excellent ! Happy New Year 2010 will be your year !!
Doug
Doug,
Wow! Thanks for the toast!
If everyone in the world could read, learn, assimilate and **take action** on that toast, what a world we would have!
May you have all the Happiness and Success you Deserve in 2010!
