The number one thing that's gonna change your life,
the only thing that will change your life, change your business, change your money, change your relationship,
is you must raise your standard.
♫ MUSIC ♫
Your life can be too big to allow yourself to play too small.
The only thing that changes our life long term is when we raise our standards.
It means that all of us in life have things we want.
♫ MUSIC ♫
We don't get what we want, we get what we have to have.
♫ MUSIC ♫
What you're looking for and what you're talking about and what you need is self-discipline.
♫ MUSIC ♫
Now, self-discipline as the very term implies comes from itself, it comes from you.
♫ MUSIC ♫
It comes from when you make a decision.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
to be disciplined.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
When you make a decision to be better, when you make a decision to do more and to be more.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Well, I think the one thing that discipline definitely does help you is it, it helps you get things done and
when you get things done when you actually do things you have more success.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Make some choices,with new choices you are gonna get new results.
With new results you're gonna get transfomed.
When you are no longer willing to tolerate something, that's when your life changes.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Develop the habits, you've got the brainpower, you've got the energy, just develop the habits of success.
We know that one of the things about high achievers is that they all have goals.
So literally without goals you are directionless, you will be used.
People without goals get used by other people who have them.
People who don't have goals, work for people who do.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
But you know about Michael Phelps, what allowed him to be able to push beyond that moment is his rituals.
Go study the guy.
Most people who swim have these unbelievable workouts.
He does 2 and 3 of the workout sessions a day.
All the other swimmers in the beginning thought he was insane.
You get overtrained you can't do that it's not phisically possible,
but he had a standard and rituals to back it up.
If it was easy everybody would be doing it.
There are always gonna be ups and downs but I think it's really how you really get back on your horse and keep going forward.
and I think the biggest thing that I've always said, "Never Give Up" and I've never have
and nobody ever should they want something bad enough go get it.
they have to work for it.
Yeah, it's not gonna be easy but if you want it bad enough, you'll do whatever takes to get there.
If you look at great athletes for example,
It's not that they were naturally talented but whether it's Kobe or Michael Jordan or Federer.
It was the quality of their rituals.
If you think you can make a difference it requires commitment.
The pro goes to work and it doesn't matter if you are sick, doesn't matter if you have kids.
You are a pro and you go to work and that puts it in your head that this is what I do.
♫ MUSIC ♫
If you don't do the work, steadily everyday like an athlete going to the gym and practicing.
If you don't do the work, if you don't act on the ideas, if you don't integrate them, if you don't show some self-discipline.
No idea will work unless you do the work.
Everyone in the world has a list of things they think they should do.
I should lose weight, I should workout, I should work harder, I should,I should,I should,I should.
And then you know what, what changes people is when your should becomes a must.
When suddenly you think you said should happen - has to happen.
That's what we really need to change.
Unless you take some new action.
Unless you start thinking some new thoughts.
Unless you start having some new conversations.
Unless you have the guts to clean up some of the things that are not working.
And install some of the new rituals that will work,
Nothing will change!
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
The road to success is through commitment.
and through the strength to drive through that commitment when it gets hard.
And it is gonna hard and you're gonna want to quit sometimes but it will be colored by who you are.
and more who you want to be...
♫ MUSIC ♫
You have only one life!!!
SO DON'T WASTE IT.
I was a big dreamer.
You know, and so.
My job was to clean these 7 floors.
between Friday, and Sunday.
So,everytime I would go to the 7th floor was the CEO's office.
so I would bust in like I was the CEO, I am dreaming like I am the CEO now.
and who would have ever thought.
I've been blessed and here I am.
I am the CEO of my own company.
♫ MUSIC ♫
Well I think that the number one thing is you have to have a very clear vision.
A very clear goal of where you want to go.
Because only then you will get there.
Uh, you can have the best airplane.
OR the best ship in the world, but if the captain doesn't know where to go he will just drift around.
If the pilot does not know where to go he will just drift around with his plane.
So,it's uh I think the key thing is that we know where we are going and
that your very passionate about that you see it always in front of you, the goal.
♫ MUSIC ♫
To thrive in whatever you do please understand your Terrain.
Know what your target is don't guess it.
Be as clued up as the next man because that's, that's, that's your petrol that's your fuel to get you moving.
If you don't know where your going, what your targets are, your never going to get there. *PERIOD*
The other thing that's important is you got to shoot for the top because
to go and to really have big goals and think BIG because
then your going to get big, then your going to go and achieve big things.
that is the most important thing and, you don't achieve big things by accident.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
I have to tell each and every one of you that it doesn't matter how
how old you are, how young you are, your age, you can achieve anything that you set your mind too....
and I always say if I can do it anyone can do it.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Ah,If you think that you're gonna go and accomplish something really special......
and be the best in anything in the world.
and you think you can do it without working.
You make a big mistake.
Because no matter what I did, if it was in bodybuilding or in acting or if it is in the political arena.
It always took a lot of lot of work.
and you got to put out, and you got to you know, sometimes think about sacrifices.....
and if your are not willing to work hard forget about it.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
I truly believe we are all equal as human beings,
and if we are obsessed with something,
and we truly pursue our passion with everything we have regardless of any, anything else if you are obsessed.
Work hard, put in the time you will succeed, and that is a philosophy that I carry, my coaches carry and
and to see Lebron James who is like a mega superstar over here, and a phenomenal, phenomenal athlete
share and that belief is inspiring right back to me, and shows that we are thinking correct.
You know this is , this is hard work, this is an obsession, nothing can beat hard work.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
This here is the reality, do you mean that the competition is not the reality?
Listen, the work is behind the scene.
Competition is the easy part.
Behind the Scenes is where all the work is done.
Everything is done to get to that one race that you need to run.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
I always question myself in the best of times, even when I was world number 1 for many many weeks, and months in a row.
At certain times during the year I said "What can I improve?", "What do I need to change?"
because if you don't do anything or you just do the same thing over, and over again you stay the same.
and staying the same means going backwards, because the other guys, are working harder, and improving.
So, I always need to find ways to improve my game as well.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Beware of vision, dream and passion killers.
Family and friends, in most cases, sad to even say this.
Family and friends, in most cases, would be the first who try to talk you out, of something that you are passionate,
excited about, that you have a vision before.
Most of the people that have no dreams,
would wake up every day try to talk you out of your dreams.
They have no goals, they have nothing that they are ambitious about.
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Create your own reality by choosing your future,
and not only is it important for you to know it's possible for you to choose your future, but it's necessary.
that you work on yourself, that you develop yourself.
It's necessary, that you get the energy drainers out of your life.
People who don't want anything.
The most powerful, motivational speeches that I have ever heard came from people who told me I couldn't do something.
♫ MUSIC ♫
You know why ?
Because when they told me I couldn't do it I was bound and determined to show them, that I could.
Tell me, I can't do it.
I will prove you wrong.
I will show you (laughing) that you're mistaken.
Because I believe,
and this is real important
I can't,
would thwart you,
would stop you,
would slow you down,
would turn you around,
and cause you to move backwards if you let it.
But if you have the proper mindset.
"I can't" would do nothing, but make you that more determined to get to your goal.
One problem, the violin because to do you what you do, you have got to be a world class violinist.
Because if you don't, when you are moving around, being thrown around and still trying to play.
You end up doing what you did with missing loads of notes.
And there were time when it sounded to me like a bunch of rats being strangle.
Seriously, that bad but you're not good enough, I don't think, to get away with flying through the air,
and trying to play the violin at the same time.
I don't think, what you are doing right now is enough to fill a theatre in Vegas.
That much movement made you not as great as you were, made you not as great you were!
♫ EPIC MUSIC ♫
Who's got the right to stop you ?
I mean, maybe some of you guys got something you never finish, something you really want to do,
something you never said to somebody.
Something,
and you told NO.
even after you paid your dues.
Who's got the right to tell you that?
Who?
Nobody.
It's your right to listen to your gut and nobody is going to say no.
After you earn right to be be who you wanna be and do what you wanna to do.

*Interviewer interjects* "What's on your mind?" *Dhenzel replies* "What's on your mind, yeah, yeah, yeah."
It's like the Law of Physics, I don't know how anybody can disagree with that.
It's.. it's... ask any physicist and they'll tell you that it's true.
I become what I think about...

You visualise a number of things happening... that's easy!
What's not easy to deal with is when things are going bad and you're visualising the good stuff.
That's what freezes people!
When you're trying to figure out your life all the way to the END!
When you can't figure it out, it FREEZES you from trying it!

You work 9 to 6. You get home. You kiss the dog and you go to the town,

I mean you start building your equity, your brand, whatever you're trying to accomplish.
If you don't do it,
Nothing is possible. If you try to do it, at least you have the hope.
Most people don't even try sadly. Ah-Ah, most people try and then stop or give up.
Very few people try and try and try or do and do and do and do and never give up....

No idea works unless you have the courage to do the work.
Ideation without execution is delusion because you can have the most brilliant idea in the world......

If you spread the water across many many seeds, you don't have as much water for 1 seed.
So focus on one thing.
