I just had an amazing two weeks in the most holy land on this planet. That’s pretty crazy. Whether you believe in God or not…that’s pretty powerful.

I don’t know. That’s part of the reason why I wrote this post on my blog. I always believed we are in control of our destiny. We control our lives. We have choices and our choices control our destiny. Entrepreneurs have that mentality. “Screw working for someone else, I want to control my own destiny!” But, is our destiny predetermined? Is there something much bigger than all of us? Are we put on this planet for a reason? David,

Thank you for your great comment.

Do they know? These were the questions I’d ask myself. As I get older, in some ways, I find that the number of questions increases - not decreases like how I figured it would be.” You wrote it best. I couldn’t agree with you more. The older I get, and the more people I see losing their idealism and settling for the status quo and giving in - the more I question things as well. I’m so happy I inspired you to write a blog post. Thank you! Michael,

Does GOD exists in the typical fashion of a man flying around the sky or in a place called Heaven, I don't think so. Does GOD exist in you and everything around us, I think so. Is man GOD and GOD man, I think so. If you break anything down beyond the atomic level in this universe what do you have? You have ENERGY! We are all walking balls of energy. And with that energy, we can create and do anything that the mind can imagine. YOU and the UNIVERSE are in control and nobody else. Hey Adam,

I appreciate the way you express this same feeling so publicly. Since, I was young I have always questioned things. I always found it weird that people went living there life, there 9 to 5, without having some greater purpose to what they're doing. Everybody is so busy, but what for? Do they know? These were the questions I'd ask myself. As I get older, in some ways, I find that the number of questions increases - not decreases like how I figured it would be.

It's an amazing thought. So, you believe if you are connected to the man upstairs you are more likely to unleash the M.J. in you? I think I agree with you. God bless you! Bobby – You are a kind, kind man. Keep reading brother. Nate - Thanks so much for your comment. It’s an amazing thought.

I really enjoy your ideas and especially the way you express and present them. It's very unique. As far as believing in destiny, I'm going to think about it for a while. I do believe there is a God but who knows? Keep it up brother; you will do amazing things with your life. Adam,

Yea, I fully believe in a creator. I believe we were created for a purpose. And, just like you I "believe every single person on this planet has a Michael Jordan inside them." That's the coolest part about all this. The connection to that ultimate creator helps unleash the Michael Jordan inside all of us. Some are successful without that connection, and I don't believe it's a cause/effect relationship. But, I do believe one will be better off connected than disconnected. Ok, I’ll step out on a limb.
