Even if you dont follow golf, read on for an amazing story about the power of normalizing.

Hilary Lunke had been on the professional womens golf circuit for only two years after graduating with a Masters in Sociology from Stanford University. In 2003, she had to play two rounds in the days preceding the US Open just to qualify to play since her cumulative scores didnt automatically qualify her. She qualified by just one stroke.

Amazingly, on July 7, 2003, Lunke became the 2003 US Open winner. She won over $500,000, which was over $225,000 more than the 2nd place finisher, whom she beat by one stroke.

With the power of normalizing, Lunke catapulted herself into the top ranks of women golfers and changed her life forever.

Dont make your next challenge bigger than it is. Youve done all kinds of things in your life: normalize it. Keep going, play by play. And someday youll win your US Open.
