Comment on IGNITION ! by Jim Sullivan

Great post, Pete! Jacob sounds very cool. IGNITION = ENERGY and POWER–that’s what we essentially are as human beings…very elaborate energy management systems. Some with power to spare, and others in need of a recharge. Aligning ourselves across four levels of our human operating system–Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual–releases energy to infuse others with. Sounds like Jacob’s doing just that…and YOU TOO!

The irony of life is that we don’t slow down because we are in such a rush to get some “where” that most of us haven’t really thought through.

Thank you for this reminder to realize that slowing down like this is a choice – perhaps even at the time a risk — that, as we reflect back on later, we will never regret.

I thank you. I thank you for being the energy to make the ride happen.
As you describe the moments and thoughts during the ride I remember thinking, during the ride, how we worked and fit together like a team using our strengths to all of our benefit and how much fun it is and the joy I feel of being together taking in all of this beauty.
It was a GREAT DAY.

Because YOU are the one-and-only TOTO. . .you can’t take the bike or the Kansas out of the playful, adventurous boy who is always out of his basket stirring things up and inspiring others to LIVE — not by going to Oz, but through the Builder’s Journey, engaging & aligning your BRAIN, your HEART, and your COURAGE with your BELIEFS.

Even in the face of recurring surgeries for cancer that you don’t talk much about — something that would leave most in self-pity & victimhood — thank you Toto for modeling and sharing yet again that BUILT TO LEAD is about work AND life. Our prayers for you while you recover yet again, and for your family & Mrs. MISS next week for strength and endurance for her surgery. And for a ton of fun tonight with your kids!

This is “WHY” your name is NO longer John Rue. We can’t even live with calling you johnnytherue. NO, the only name that fits if GUrue because you are one. Great post, great thoughts, and great provocation. Keep writing, johnnytheGUrue. Keep writing…
