Hey {{first_name| Friend}}

Se-Ri Pak won the U.S. Open in 1998.

But, it was one shot that was replayed on Korean television every single morning that changed golf forever!

Little girls (and parents) would see this iconic image on a daily basis.

And what it built was a sense of belief. When we see others who are similar to us having success, it shows us, “if you can do it, so can I.”

Even though having others around us reach a level of success may sting sometimes (because we want the success), it should be used as a source of confidence in ourselves!

It’s important to surround yourself with people trying to get better and reach similar goals.

Then, you can see what they do, how they approach their work, and how they compete and respond.

And whomever reaches the top of the success mountain first serves as a model and source of confidence for others around them to follow.
