Diese Woche möchte ich im Podcast das zweite paradoxe Gebot von Kent Keith teilen. Kent Keiths zweites Paradoxes Gebot lautet: Wenn du Gutes tust, wird man glauben du hättest Hintergedanken. Tu es trotzdem! Wir werden über selbsterfüllende Prophezeiungen sprechen und darüber, wie die Gedanken, die wir denken und die Überzeugungen, die daraus entstehen, unsere Realität prägen. Eine sich selbst erfüllende Prophezeiung ist eine Situation, in der die Erwartung eines Menschen an eine bestimmte Situation dazu führen kann, dass diese Situation eintritt. Die kleine Geschichte zeigt, dass die Erwartungen, die wir an unser Gegenüber haben, oft ganz viel über uns selbst aussagt. Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß mit der neuen Podcastfolge!

Als ich darüber nachgedacht habe, was ich diese Woche im Podcast besprechen möchte, fiel mir das Buch ANYWAY, - die paradoxen Gebote von Kent Keith ein, dem ich vor einem knappen Jahr begegnet bin. Es geht in diesem Buch darum, Sinn zu finden, Glück zu empfinden, gut mit sich und anderen zu sein und mit einem "verrückten" Leben umgehen zu können. Kent Keith hat in seinem 2004 erstmals veröffentlichten Buch Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments (Die paradoxen Gebote), das erweitert, was er in den 1960er Jahren erstmals geschrieben hat. In den Paradoxen Geboten geht es darum, angesichts von Herausforderungen und Widrigkeiten einen persönlichen Sinn zu finden. Es gibt das Paradoxon: Wenn die Dinge gut laufen, kann es schwierig sein, Sinn und tiefes Glück zu finden. Und zwar heißt das Buch ANYWAY. Tu es Trotzdem. Das Buch fordert uns auf, unser Bestes zu geben, auch in schwierigen Zeiten. Wir können nicht kontrollieren, was um uns herum geschieht. Aber du kannst kontrollieren, wie du reagierst. Ein Satz von ihm ist: Gib der Welt das Beste, was du hast, und du bekommst einen Tritt in den Hintern. Aber gib der Welt trotzdem das Beste, was du hast. Tu es trotzdem. Do it ANYWAY. Viel Spaß mit den Gedanken dieser Podcastfolge! Wenn du jemanden kennst, der oder die auch davon profitieren könnte, leite die Folge gerne weiter! --- Erlernen der TRE Methode zum Stressabbau: Details Jahrescoaching für ein positives Selbstbild: Details Weitere Informationen findest du auf: www.karlajohannaschaeffer.com

How do we know whether the things in which we invest our lives are worth it? This Sunday we looked again to Jesus' friends Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, and the extravagant gift that Mary gives to Jesus in John 12:1-8. We explored the question of value and purpose, with a little help from Tuesdays with Morrie and the Paradoxical Commandments. Bottom line: What is given to honor Jesus is never squandered. From the sermon: Tuesdays With Morrie here. The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent Keith here.
A menudo las personas son irracionales, ilógicas y ególatras; ámalas de todos modos. Si eres bondadoso, te pueden acusar de interesado, de tener motivos ocultos; sé de todos modos bondadoso. Si tienes éxito, tendrás algunos amigos desleales y algunos verdaderos enemigos; ten éxito de todos modos. El bien que hagas hoy la gente lo olvidará mañana; haz el bien de todos modos. Si eres franco y sincero, pudieran aprovecharse de ti; sé franco y sincero, de todos modos. Los que tienen las ideas más brillantes y planean grandes cosas pudieran sufrir los ataques de personas mediocres; piensa en grande de todos modos. La gente simpatiza con los que pierden, aunque sólo admira a los que ganan; defiende a uno que otro perdedor de todos modos. Lo que te cuesta años construir alguien pudiera destruirlo en una noche; construye de todos modos. Quienes necesitan ayuda, cuando se la brindes pudieran atacarte; ayuda a los demás de todos modos. Dale al mundo lo mejor que tengas, y pudieras recibir humillación a cambio; dale de todos modos lo mejor al mundo.1 Estos «Mandamientos paradójicos», traducidos del inglés y versificados por Luis Bernal Lumpuy, fueron escritos por el doctor Kent Keith en 1968. De los diez originales, muchos alrededor del mundo sólo conocen los ocho que aparecen escritos en una de las paredes de Shishu Bhavan, la Casa de los Niños de la Orden de las Misioneras de la Caridad, fundada por la Madre Teresa de Calcuta. Esos diez «mandamientos paradójicos» se resumen en dos refranes que dicen: «Donde no hay riesgo, no se gana mérito»; y: «Quien anda es quien tropieza, no el que se está en la cama a pierna tiesa.»2 A fines del siglo veinte se hizo una encuesta entre personas mayores de cincuenta años. A la pregunta: «Si pudiera usted volver a comenzar, ¿qué haría diferente con su vida?», un alto porcentaje respondió que correría más riesgos. Habían llegado a la conclusión de que la vida sin riesgos es más aburrida y no se disfruta al máximo. Por eso el Hermano Pablo creó su propia variante de un dicho conocido, que reza así: «La única vez que no puedo darme el lujo de fracasar es la última vez que hago el intento.» En el siglo nueve a.C., a Samaria la sitiaron los sirios, y el pueblo israelita dentro de los muros de la ciudad se estaba muriendo de hambre. Pero había cuatro leprosos en cuarentena fuera de la ciudad que decidieron que no tenían nada que perder, así que se aventuraron a ir al campamento sirio. Allí descubrieron que Dios se les había anticipado ahuyentando a los sirios y disponiendo un tremendo banquete para ellos.3 Pero jamás hubieran disfrutado de ese banquete milagroso si no se hubieran hecho la pregunta: «¿Qué ganamos con quedarnos aquí sentados, esperando la muerte?», seguida de la resolución: «Vayamos, pues, al campamento de los sirios.... Si nos perdonan la vida, viviremos; y si nos matan, de todos modos moriremos.»4 Más vale que así también nosotros reconozcamos que no tenemos nada que perder y corramos el riesgo más importante de nuestra vida. Entreguémonos al cuidado providencial de Dios, a ver si no nos dispone un banquete de provisiones divinas. Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Kent M.

Dr. Ricardo talks about the importance of using Servant Leadership in every day life. Touching on the Paradoxical Commandments for high school leaders that Kent Keith wrote at just 19 years old.
“A Servant Leader’s Adventure.” Greetings, Summit Leaders. Rejoice! Again I say rejoice! We are doing something new! Be encouraged that people are changing and growing because of your Servant leadership. "I think the simplest way to explain it would be to say that servant leaders focus on identifying and meeting others' needs rather than trying to acquire power, wealth, and fame for themselves." Kent Keith, CEO of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership. Everyone can participate in becoming a Servant leader and begin a new chapter of their life and career journey. The benefits are new strength, joy, fulfillment, higher impact, and expanded vision. I love the fact that I have the opportunity to engage leaders in different stages of their journey. Some are starting their first day in a few weeks. Other Summit leaders celebrate their fourth and fifth year at IBM, and others are in their third decade. They all have this unifying quality of "servant leader." A Servant Leader is more interested in the value they bring to people while delivering lasting change and results. They serve from a mindset of transformation linked to principles, values, and beliefs. Gratitude is often a word I hear when talking with someone who has a Servant Leader mindset. This "attitude of gratitude" is their motivation in reaching people and creating value. Whether it is serving a set of new clients, a volunteer community assignment, leading a group of senior sales leaders, an enterprise or a nation, the emphasis is always first on the people's best interest. When experiencing business pressures, promoting new norms, or the opportunity to chart a new course for the good of the people and the enterprise, Servant leaders remain committed and steadfast. Servant Leaders believe that they are in their roles for the benefit of those they serve, support, and lead. Early in my career, this principle of Servant Leadership was unknown to me. I focused on being better than everyone instead of seeking to serve. My focus was not singular but divided by looking around to see who may appear to be ahead of me. The quote, "If anyone among you wishes to be great, let them become servants to all." became my new roadmap to "good success." Some examples of great leaders who embraced the principle of Servant Leadership are Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Mother Teresa, and Sam Walton, and T.J. Watson, Sr. I asked a Summit Leader to share his perspective. "Servant Leadership defines a great leader. They show up and work hard every day for their employees while leading by example." Summit Leader "Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish." Sam Walton, Founder of Walmart and Sam's Club. "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." – Mother Teresa A Servant leader's motivation comes from the heart. Someone wisely said, "Before people will give you their hand, you must first win their hearts." Our challenge is to guard our hearts because out of them flows everything we do in life. Your heart overflows into thoughts, words, and actions. When our hearts are made new, our motivations and actions affect people to favor our leadership and us. "If a man is loyal to himself, doing what his heart tells him is just; he is headed in the right direction and will always do what is best for his assistants, superior officers in the company and customers. Thomas J. Watson, Sr. Victory!

Episode 28 of ASK Y Podcast titled, Build Anyway is inspired by the Paradoxical Commandment developed by Dr. Kent Keith. Episode 28 encourages people to continue building, creating, giving, enjoying, forgiving anyway! No matter how many times people may knock you down, duplicate overnight what you have struggled years to create, destroy what you worked hard to build...continue building anyway. Because in the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway. #build anyway # askypodcast #dryetunde #puttingyourbestselfforward
This podcast episode ponders the question: what does it mean to plant seeds in your life? The everyday wear and tear of day-to-day monotony can take a toll. It’s easy to see our daily tasks as nothing more than dutiful responsibilities, but what if we saw them as more? What if, rather than seeing our lives filled with chores, we saw them filled with opportunity to plant seeds – hundreds of thousands of little seeds? Inspired by an author named Kent Keith and his Paradoxical Commandments, we are challenged to see seed planting take on a whole new meaning when we hear about how the seeds he planted in 1968 spread all around the world without him even knowing the impact his life was making. Because that’s just it. You may never know the harvest that arises from the seeds you plant, but plant seeds anyway. “Lord God, extend our faith so that even when we fail to see the fruit of our planted seeds, we may have the assurance that every inch of soil overturned will lead to a harvest someday.” –Shane Claiborne Mentioned In Today’s Podcast: “Do It Anyway” by Kent M. Keith The Paradoxical Commandments Common Prayer
Church leadership and structure in the New Testament is much more concerned with the character and transformation of the person leading than the role they play. If we want the Kingdom to take root like it did in the 1st Century then Church leadership and structure needs to reflex the cruciform character of Jesus. The character of the King determines the character of the Kingdom and King Jesus leads His Church by calling her leaders to take up the model of servant leadership that He exemplified in His life.
