Even if you don’t follow golf, read on for an amazing story about power of normalizing.

Hilary Lunke had been on professional women’s 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 days preceding US Open just to qualify to play since her cumulative scores didn’t automatically qualify her. She qualified by just one stroke.

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

Recently I came across best written example I've ever seen that emphasizes importance of this crucial concept. I don't know who originally wrote it, but I found it in a great book called 'The PowerMind System'.

It's a poem called, "It's Your Fault":

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you hate your job and you DECIDE to stay there, it's your fault.

If someone offers you a better job, but it requires you to move to another city, it's your fault.

If you DECIDE to save no money during your working lifetime, winding up broke and embarrassed at age 65, dependent on charities for survival, it's your fault.

If you DECIDE not to study or read in your chosen field and find yourself never rising above mere mediocrity, it's your fault.

If you DECIDE to spend more money than you make, running yourself into debt by satisfying one capricious whim after another, it's your fault.

If you DECIDE to waste all your time on meaningless activities, neglecting all important things you could do with your life, it's your fault.
