And are you willing to participate to make it happen? Whether “your guy” won or not, the success of our collective future and your individual future does not rest in who will be sworn in to office in January! Your success and the success of our nation rests on us – the citizens of this nation – to be active participants in creating and building an outrageous future! None of us can expect to get to where we want to go, if we fail to get into action in our own behalf… and if we fail to tell those who are in leadership positions what we want! So what do you want your future to look like?

Nelson Are you being true to yourself… and are you living a life that makes you happy? The word “Truth” conjures up many thoughts about what truths one could be referring to. But the truth that I most want to address with this show is are you being true to yourself… and are you living a life that makes you happy? Asking these questions of yourself – and being truthful with the answers – could be difficult! None of us are comfortable having the “mirror” held up in front of us, but if we don’t willingly take a look at how we feel about the life we live, the person we are, and the difference we make on the planet… how do we know if we are being true to ourselves? no 48:27 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20081029.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Sat, 1 Nov 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Confusion is really a result of what we are feeling about our surroundings – and our own lack of commitment. Confusion comes in all shapes and sizes. There is confusion regarding how something is done, why something is done the way it is, confusion over why someone is doing what they are doing, what they are trying to say or an idea they are attempting to convey, confusion over who is supposed to be doing what, or confusion over a decision you need to make. But the truth is that “confusion” is really a result of what we are feeling about our surroundings – and our own lack of commitment. Confusion is just a place you get to in life where you forget what you are committed to! no 48:27 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20081022.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Accountability in Washington D.C., accountability in our schools, accountability in our homes starts with us! What if every single one of us REALLY took on accountability for our own lives? Do you see how that kind of responsibility would breed responsibility everywhere? The truth is that we don’t hold those in office to the highest levels of accountability, because all of us shun accountability on some level. We all talk a good talk, but when it comes to having our feet held to the fire we make excuses for our shortcomings, our children’s shortcomings…We don’t want to make people mad, we want to be liked. Accountability in Washington D.C., accountability in our schools, accountability in our homes starts with us! When each of us individuals are willing to be accountable for doing what is within our reach… then and only then can we hold our leaders to the same standard! no 47:57 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20081008.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Mon, 6 Oct 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Living from a place where you have no trust in the world or people around you is a hard thing to do. Trust is something we put out into the world - believing in the overall goodness of humanity. As our relationships and experiences expand and are generally positive, our trust deepens and grows. But when that trust is broken, it often takes a lot to repair it. Living from a place where you have no trust in the world or people around you is a hard thing to do. If you don’t believe and trust in the integrity of your connection to someplace, some person, or some thing then what do you have? To build trust in anything… or anyone… you have to first and foremost trust yourself. After all, the only person who has a say in how you think and feel is you! no 48:31 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20081001.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson If we actually took the time to be with the person in the mirror, would we like what we see? We all know people who put everyone else’s needs above their own. But concentrating on the needs of others is a really great place to not have to be with ourselves. Think about it… if we actually took the time to be with the person in the mirror, would we like what we see? The truth is that it is much easier for all of us to help do for and fix others than it is to deal with ourselves. If everything you do keeps you from taking care of you… from keeping your own batteries fully charged… from being 100% happy and having fun… from taking on your own growth… then it is time to stop do-do-doing for everyone else and start doing for YOU! no 48:29 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080924.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson You can choose to be in action around the changes you are faced with or you can be a victim of change… the choice is yours! It is one thing to talk about managing change, but when the change you are faced with is so rapidly life altering, how do you really “manage” something so big; something you really don’t have a say in? Well, the solution isn’t so much in a step 1-2-3 type of answer – it is bigger than “how” you manage unexpected changes! It is up to you to make your life whatever it is you want it to be, regardless of what the world has in store. You can choose to be in action around the changes you are faced with or you can be a victim of change… the choice is yours! no 47:58 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080917.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Tue, 23 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson In the midst of doing “it all”, don’t give into the temptation to drop taking care of you out! The only person who can set the priorities in your life is you. You know what is important to you. And when setting priorities you have to remember to keep you first… you’ve got to take care of you first so that you have the energy (both physical and mental) to manage everything else in your life! In the midst of doing “it all”, don’t give into the temptation to drop taking care of you out! no 48:55 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080903.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Thu, 4 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Our worlds are filled with a constant barrage of input, but what are we learning from it? There is so much going on around us – so much noise – that we tend to hear everything, but what are we actually listening to? Our worlds are filled with a constant barrage of input, but what are we learning from it? If we are constantly talking… if we constantly tune people out… if we merely hear things in the background without really listening to what is being communicated to us, chances are that we aren’t learning anything! Rarely do any of us really listen 100% of the time. But what if we did? no 48:24 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080827.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson We can learn a lot from the amazing accomplishments of Olympic athletes about what it takes to succeed in whatever our goals are. As you consider what you want to accomplish in the last quarter of this year, I’d like you to think about the Olympic athletes that are now competing with other athletes from all over the globe. What an amazing thing they do! They train their bodies AND their minds so that they can create phenomenal results. Do all of them bring home Olympic gold (or even silver or bronze)? No, but do they deliver their personal best? Yes!! Guess what, they have the same distractions that you do -- and yet they have pushed, planned, gotten coaching, and trained in order to accomplish what it is they say they want. I believe that we can learn a lot from these amazing athletes about what it takes to succeed in whatever our goals are! no 48:26 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080820.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Have you done what you really set out to do this summer? The stark realization that the lazy days of summer are coming to an abrupt end can be downright disappointing. But the summer isn’t over yet, so I have to ask: Have you done what you really set out to do this summer? Have you taken the time for you that you deserve? And if not, it isn’t too late, but it is time to get going!! The “best of intentions” aren’t nearly enough to take us from wanting to take care of ourselves to actually doing it, we have to put a few tools in place that help us take care of us! no 47:59 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080813.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson If our default way of going through our day is to focus on the negatives, grumble and be down on life, how do we change our default way of being from negative to positive? It occurred to me that we talk a lot about focusing on the positive and having a smile on our faces. However, how do we be positive when work is stressing us out…bills are stressing us out…gas prices are stressing us out…or we’re torn between wanting to spend more time with our families and the need to bring in more money to meet the family’s needs? Let’s face it. We have a lot to be stressed about! So, if our default way of going through our day is to focus on the negatives, grumble and be down on life, how do we change our default way of being from negative to positive? no 48:26 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080806.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson What would happen if we all woke up to the power each of us has to turn our mediocre, complacent, life-is-hard attitudes around? As a business coach, I talk with business owners from around the country each day. I am privy to all of their ups and downs, and I have to tell you, I’m hearing a lot of downs right now. And the truth is that I’m frustrated, because no matter what the economy is doing, no matter what circumstances are going on around us: LIFE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE HARD… WE DON’T HAVE TO SETTLE… WE CAN HAVE THE LIFE AND BUSINESSES WE WANT! Now, I am not trivializing the problems many Americans are now facing. I simply want to wake all of us up to the power we have to turn our mediocre, complacent, life-is-hard attitudes around. no 48:31 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080723.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson The more we can look at the world from a greater perspective – appreciate the simple things in life, rather than worrying about what we don’t have – the more easily appreciation becomes part of who we are. No matter how difficult our personal situation may be, we all have things that we can be appreciative of. The really cool thing is that the more we openly acknowledge our appreciation, the more good and happiness that will return to us! Unfortunately, the exact opposite is true too! When we fail to show our appreciation for even the “smallest” things, eventually those around us will stop doing things for us!! The more we can look at the world from a greater perspective – appreciate the simple things in life, rather than worrying about what we don’t have – the more easily appreciation becomes part of who we are. no 48:31 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080709.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson How do we manage unexpected events without going upside down? Chaos is one of those things that send some people running for cover and others absolutely thrive on it! How do we manage unexpected events without going upside down? Most of us are creatures of habit, and chaos does little to calm those of us who operate from a very A + B = C existence. But the truth is that Chaos is really more of a normal occurrence than Order, and the better we are at managing the chaos in our lives the more we will learn and grow from the chaos that is around us! After all, where do we learn the most from – those things we do day in and day out OR those things that sneak into our tidy, orderly worlds? no 47:53 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080702.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson There is something to be said for living life simply. How about getting back to the basics of living? Maybe we could even learn something from our own children? There is something to be said for living life simply. Now, I’m not talking about selling your house and living in a tent somewhere. I’m talking about living life without so much stuff… at least the stuff that doesn’t make us happier! The truth is, for me at least, that the more stuff I have… the more things are piled around me, the less organized I am, the less peace of mind I have! The point is not to shut down your life, or your way of living if the way you are living works for you. However, if you are stretched to the maximum in terms of time, finances, serenity, and happiness… something needs to change! Change what? How about getting back to the basics of living! Maybe we could even learn something from our own children? no 48:32 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080625.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Complaining gets you nowhere. To find a solution through or around life's circumstances, create one! One thing I have learned in my 64 years on this planet is that as bad as a situation in my life might be, there is always someone, somewhere who is worse off than me! There are people out there with much bigger things going on in their lives, and what strikes me most is that those people aren’t complaining! They aren’t pouting in a corner somewhere. They are out living life… they are out creating a way around or through their circumstances. They create instead of complain!!! no 48:27 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080618.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Every single one of us has an opportunity to make a difference on this planet. Every single one of us has an opportunity to make a difference on this planet. No matter what our financial status might be, the color of our skin, our gender, our physical or mental abilities, where we live, the kind of car we drive or the clothes we wear - we all can make a difference! I want to encourage others to get involved and make a difference in their communities, for organizations and causes that are tugging on their hearts, and I want to show everyone that making a difference is really an easy thing to do! no 48:26 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080611.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson We create our own boredom... and on the flip-side, we have the power to choose and create our own happiness. No matter how much we have to do – no matter how much our jobs or our homes and families demand of us, everyone encounters boredom. Yet, we can’t just chuck our responsibilities out the window because we aren’t lit up about what we are doing! And besides that, what if our boredom with life isn’t about life, but instead our attitude toward life? We create our own boredom... and on the flip-side, we have the power to choose and create our own happiness. no 45:24 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080528.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson What would your life’s journey be like if you slowed down enough to really enjoy getting to where you want to be? We’re always in such a hurry to do something... to reach an end goal. We want what we want NOW, and we sometimes focus so intently on the end result, have you ever considered what you are missing out on along the way? Consider this question: What would your life’s journey be like if you slowed down enough to really enjoy getting to where you want to be? What would your life be like if you took on everything you do as if it were a garden that you are growing, nurturing, and preparing for harvest? no 49:00 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080521.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Fri, 16 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S.

Nelson What would it be like to not have to drive somewhere to be entertained, and have just as much fun, if not more fun, just being a family? ...and Not Having to Drive Anywhere! With prices skyrocketing – from the gas we need in our cars, to airline tickets, and the food we put on our tables – the majority of us are looking to cut back on our spending. What’s the first thing to get cut out? Entertainment and travel! Yes, the kids are groaning, because they are bored! Parents may even feel a bit stir crazy! But what if spending recreational time as a family wasn’t about the money you spend while you do what you do? What would it be like to not have to drive somewhere to be entertained, and have just as much fun, if not more fun, just being a family? no 48:33 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080507.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Fri, 9 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson Don’t relate to change like it is something that “just happens” and then you react to it. Think ahead about changes. Have a plan, and then choose to live it! Who do we have to be to have a say in how our life turns out... even when we are faced with change that we don’t have a say in? The price of gas, the state of the economy, road construction making us late for an appointment, children growing older, the loss of a loved one — these are all examples of change that we don’t have a say in. We don’t create it, it just happens and we are left with the aftereffects. These are the very types of changes that can put us into a huge victimized pit of despair, but only if we CHOOSE to go there!!!

Nelson The odds of being successful in everything we do is very small. But when we are disappointed it can hit us hard. How do you deal with the disappointment you’ve encountered? Disappointment is a reality of life. The odds of being successful in everything we do is very small and besides, if we only do the things that we are sure to excel at, then we probably aren’t reaching high enough! But when we are disappointed it can hit us hard. So what do you do?

Nelson Have you ever watched a bully attempt to push someone around… maybe you’ve been pushed around too. What happened? Have you ever watched a bully attempt to push someone around… maybe you’ve been pushed around too. What happened? Frequently we give in, but why? Because most of us don’t really believe that we have a choice in what goes on in our lives and in and around our world. But the truth is, we DO have a choice and we all have the power to make a difference in our lives and the lives of others, and only we can make it happen! no 48:56 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20080416.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S. Nelson We all have days when we “don’t wanna”, but what separates you from others is your making the CHOICE to play anyway! Getting going when you don’t wanna is all about recognizing that you are stopped and then making the CHOICE to play… making the CHOICE to have fun… making the CHOICE to be your word, and asking for help when your brain is stopping you. We can’t always lay around on the beach or wherever your preferred place to get away from it all is. But you can have a clear mind and a go get’em attitude whenever you choose to have them.

Being patient is really no more than a choice we make to not act impulsively, give things the time they deserve and give people the respect they deserve. Meaning -- patience is really about self-control! Choosing not to yell, and instead calmly discussing an upset. Choosing to not be crabby with the check-out clerk, because of the long line. Choosing to slow down and be respectful, even when you don’t feel like you have the time to do so. Choosing to make room for others to learn at their own pace and to even contribute to you! Mastering self-control and patience takes practice, choosing to be patient when we might not otherwise have been!

How many times has someone said this to you… or how many times have you felt this way about another? “You never listen to me... You didn’t hear what I said!” Do you ever hear complaints like this from the people in your life? What are they really saying?

If we allow ourselves to crawl under a rock, because we are avoiding an uncomfortable situation, what might we miss out on? If we soldier on with a chip on our shoulder or fear in our step, what do we lose? If we make others wrong consistently for how we feel, what relationships are we giving up on?

Life has a way of throwing things at us… getting us right in the gut when we least expect it, and it all happens on top of the balls we are already juggling and very often even dropping! There is never a good time to deal with all of the things that come up in our lives. So how do you keep from becoming overwhelmed by your circumstances?

Being bold is about standing up for what you believe in – whether it be a cause or even yourself! What do you choose when you are pushed?

Nelson Often times, setting goals and then accomplishing them is not enough - we all need a purpose, and not just any random purpose. What is your purpose in life? Why are you on the planet? Goal setting and accomplishing those goals should and can be fun and made more meaningful when paired with the power of purpose.

Have you ever looked at two different people… one who seems really happy and one who doesn’t? What do you think is the difference between them? How unstoppable could you become by giving up the belief that life is supposed to be hard, getting present to the positives of your life, communicating fully with those around you and learning to ask for help when you need it?

Nelson Creative alignment is doing what we need to do so that the masses around us get what they need or what is best for the mass. Creative alignment is incredibly powerful, and it is nothing more than doing what we need to do so that the masses around us get what they need or what is best for the mass.  For example: stopping at a traffic light when it turns red, when you don’t want to or sitting at the dinner table and eating salad, even though you wanted dessert first.  Creative alignment is something we take on from the simplest of every day activities to some of the more difficult things we will tackled in our life times.  And if we can see how creative alignment serves us; the people around us; and the people in our care, it is easier to do.  It becomes easier to be a part of the solution, rather than the person who gets to be right all by themselves and this program will help show you how. no 43:37 http://shop.claynelsonlifebalance.com/sounds/radio/CNLB_20061206.mp3 http://www.claynelsonlifebalance.com/ Thu, 14 Dec 2006 12:00:00 -0700 Clay S.
