Welcome to the Ed Milins. This podcast is for those who want to do more. See more and be more.

Welcome back to Max out everybody. I'm Ed Milad and this is the first time in the history of the show we've had a return guest.

And the reason that we've had this return guest is because you've requested more of this man and also because selfishly I want to be around him more.

This is my dear friend. This is Dr. Joe Dispenser. Thank you for being here. I'm so happy to be with you Ed.

It's going to be so great today. As most of you know, Joe is a lecturer. He's an author. He's a neuroscientist. He's an expert I think on the mind and body connection.

He's lectured in 35 different countries plus five different continents. And he's one of the most sought after speakers in the world.

And I really think he's become the expert. I think you bridge science and spirituality better than anybody walking on earth right now.

Thank you. And I know my audience felt that way from the first time that you were with us too. So you're also a ratings grabber by the way.

So let's see other reason we're having you back today. This man, everybody wants to hear more from him. He's hot. And there's a reason for it because there's really nobody like him in the world.

So let's dig in. You ready? I'm ready. Guys, heavy no taking day. So we're going to lay some foundational stuff here. And then we're going to get to some stuff towards the middle in the end that is literally going to blow your mind and change your life.

And that's why I asked Joe back today. So let's talk about some basic stuff today. Firstly, the foundation, nothing with you is basic. But what is the power of thought?

Because we talk about this all the time. This in personal development today, everyone's talking about you know, you got to control your thoughts and control your habits and all these things. And there's a baseline message about that.

But you're the best in the world explaining exactly why this is so important. So give us some background there.

Yeah, I think, you know, if we everything starts with a thought, I mean, everything that you do in your life, you have to have a thought before you initiate an action. Right.

So if you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, like any great leader in history understands that.

The first thing you have to do is you have to decide, are you going to be defined by a vision of the future? Or are you going to live by the memories of the past?

So give you an example. Most people wake up in the morning and your brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact of everything you've learned and experienced to this moment.

Right. It's a memory bank. So most people wake up in the morning and they start thinking about their problems and those problems are connected to certain people and things at certain times and places.

And the moment they start starting on those circuits, those memories are actually causing them to think in the past. Every single one of those memories has an emotion associated with them and emotions are the end product of past experiences.

So then the moment they recall the event or they recall some problem in their life, they start feeling unhappy, they start feeling discouraged, they start feeling anxious.

Now thoughts of the language of the brain and feelings of the language of the body and how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. So we could say then, most people's entire state of being when they start their day is in the familiar past.

Well, if you live in the familiar past, then it makes sense you're going to create the predictable future. So what happens for most people is they get stuck in their biology. So think about this.
