Solar Storm Goes Easy On Earth ? But More Are Sure To Come, NASA Says

The sun-orbiting SOHO spacecraft captured this image of filaments erupting off the sun's surface and magnetic plasma blasting into space. The field of view of this image, seen in ultraviolet light, extends some 1.243 million miles from the solar surface.

The huge solar storm that NASA detected hurtling toward Earth hit our planet at 5:42 a.m. EST Thursday. So far, there have been no reports of major power or communications disruptions. The storm's magnetic fields are oriented in a way that's "been opposite of what is needed to cause the strongest storming," says the Space Weather Prediction Center.

So, the main effect of this storm, which the AP calls the largest in five years, may only be to paint colorful auroras across the night skies above Iowa, New York and Illinois. But it's not the last you'll hear about "Solar Flares Speeding Toward Earth," as we told you yesterday. The sun is currently in a very active phase, and it won't peak until 2013, according to NASA.

This week's large solar flares, and a similar episode in late January, have sparked a lot of curiosity about the phenomena ? and led some to worry about how they might disrupt life on Earth.

NASA has uploaded an "HD closeup" version of its video of Tuesday's flares:

?

Here's how Adam Frank, of our 13.7 Cosmos and Culture blog, describes a solar flare:

"Powerful magnetic fields arc upwards from the surface, rising high into the solar atmosphere to form giant, twisting arcades of energy. Matter streams up these arches to be gripped in a magnetic vise a million miles above the surface. Then something happens. Something shifts. Magnetic lines of force in the arcade snap like steel cables on the bridge to heaven. Billions of tons of solar gas are suddenly blown outward, exploding across interplanetary space. Three days later the shimmering ball of energy smashes head-on into the unsuspecting Earth."

But Adam is quick to clarify that we earthlings are not, in fact, unsuspecting ? we're very aware of what the sun's up to. And to him, the fact that we study solar activity the way our ancestors might have noted the oceans' shifting tides means that we've arrived in a new era.

"Now we have become a high-tech, space-faring race encircling the planet's surface with power lines and its skies with orbiting satellites," he wrote.

And there lies the rub. Thanks to advances in science and technology, we're very good at detecting the ebbs and flows of the sun's 11-year activity cycle. But much of our communications and energy technology can also be devastated by the effects of a massive solar storm.

The worst-case scenario of a huge solar storm leaving "millions of people around the world without electricity, running water or phone service" isn't a matter of sci-fi conjecture ? it's a precise possibility raised by U.S. space and emergency officials, as Jon Hamilton reported in 2010.

In the government exercise, officials from the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center and the Federal Emergency Management Agency looked at how our systems might respond to a solar storm of a magnitude like those that struck the Earth in 1921 and 1859 ? events that, as Jon reported, "can release as much energy as 1 billion hydrogen bombs."

Here's what they saw in their projection models:

  • It would start with radio and GPS signals being disrupted.
  • 10-20 minutes later, most satellites that link phones, computers and TVs are knocked out.
  • One day later, the solar storm overloads high voltage power lines, destroying transformers.

The effects of what Jon called "a sort of solar Katrina" would be felt most dramatically in northern hemispheres.

As for what you might do to prepare for a potential solar calamity, FEMA's Craig Fugate recommended the standard emergency kit of water, food and first-aid supplies.

"If you've got your family disaster plan together, you've taken the steps," Fugate said, "whether it be a space storm, whether it be a system failure, whether it be another natural hazard that knocks the power out."

To clarify, those are the possibilities if we experience a category-5 solar storm. For comparison purposes, this week's solar storm has been estimated to have a rating above 1 (minor) and spiking into 3 (strong).

But NOAA uses a different measure to rate possible effects here on Earth ? the geomagnetic scale, on which this week's event rates just a 1. You can see a guide to the rating scale at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's site.

Even a small storm can cause trouble. For instance, in 1989, Canada's Hydro-Quebec power grid went off-line for more than nine hours, a disruption that was estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars in repairs and lost revenue.

As Adam Frank wrote in his 13.7 post back in January:

"There are other winds and other storms we must now be attentive to as we go about our business. In this way, as in so many others, our long childhood as a species has ended for better or for worse."

Will the solar storm disrupt power grids? (+video)

The sun has hurled a cloud of charged particles in our direction, potentially disrupting satellites and inducing current in our power grids.?

A massive solar flare that erupted from the sun late Tuesday (March 6) is unleashing one of the most powerful solar storms in more than five years, a solar tempest that may potentially interfere with satellites in orbit and power grids when it reaches Earth.

Skip to next paragraph At midnight UT the active solar region 1429 unleashed a powerful X5.4-class flare. X-class solar flares are the strongest of the flares. They are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.

It appears that right after the large X5.4 flare another slightly lower, X1 flare (5 times smaller) occurred. You can clearly see a wave going across the Sun.

NASA says that they are still gathering data and that the Space Weather Forecast Lab will have updates available soon.

"Space weather has gotten very interesting over the last 24 hours," Joseph Kunches, a space weather scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), told reporters today (March 7). "This was quite the Super Tuesday ? you bet."

Several NASA spacecraft caught?videos of the solar flare?as it hurled a wave of solar plasma and charged particles, called a coronal mass ejection (CME), into space. The CME is not expected to hit Earth directly, but the cloud of charged particles could deliver a glancing blow to the planet.

Early predictions estimate that the CME will reach Earth tomorrow (March 8) at 7 a.m. EST (1200 GMT), with the effects likely lasting for 24 hours, and possibly lingering into Friday, Kunches said.

The solar eruptions occurred late Tuesday night when the sun let loose two huge?X-class solar flares?that ranked among the strongest type of sun storms. The biggest of those flares registered as an X5.4-class solar storm on the space weather scale, making it the strongest sun eruption so far this year. [See photos & videos of the solar storm]

Typically, CMEs contain 10 billion tons of solar plasma and material, and the CME triggered by last night's X5.4-class flare is the one that could disrupt satellite operations, Kunches said.

"When the shock arrives, the expectation is for?heightened geomagnetic storm?activity and the potential for heightened solar radiation," Kunches said.

This heightened geomagnetic activity and increase in?solar radiation could impact satellites?in space and power grids on the ground. Some high-precision GPS users could also be affected, he said.

"There is the potential for induced currents in power grids," Kunches said. "Power grid operators have all been alerted. It could start to cause some unwanted induced currents."

Airplanes that fly over the polar caps could also experience communications issues during this time, and some commercial airliners have already taken precautionary actions, Kunches said. Powerful solar storms can also be hazardous to astronauts in space, and NOAA is working close with NASA's Johnson Space Center to determine if the six residents of the International Space Station need to take shelter in more protected areas of the orbiting laboratory, he added.

The flurry of recent space weather events could also supercharge aurora displays (also known as the northern and southern lights) for skywatchers at high latitudes.

"Auroras are probably the treat that we get when the sun erupts," Kunches said.

Over the next couple days, Kunches estimates that brightened auroras could potentially be seen as far south as the southern Great Lakes region, provided the skies are clear.

Tiesto To Release Club Life: Volume Two - Miami April 24

Second installment of EDM icon's mix album series to include collabo originals with Wolfgang Gartner, Swanky Tunes.
By Akshay Bhansali


Tiësto

A teasy clip posted on YouTube Tuesday showed a wide shot of what looked to be Tiësto's 2011 Ultra Music Festival set. The caption below it read, "Any ideas what this might be the first track from?" And on Thursday (March 8), the dance music heavyweight confirmed that his next album drops April 24. Indeed, the moody, building song preview that the clip is set to will be the opening track of the second installment in his Club Life mix album series, Club Life: Volume Two - Miami.

And with dance music enthusiasts counting down the days to Miami Music Week 2012 (March 20 through March 25), an occasion that will see the EDM faithful from around the world heading to Miami's pools, parks and Ultra Music Festival, the new album's title makes perfect sense for this time of year.

"I picked Miami because it's one of my favorite cities in the world," Tiësto explained in a statement. "There's so much to do, the club life there is amazing, it's a very glamorous city. I play in Miami a couple times a year and that's where I got my inspiration from on this album."

Camp Tiësto revealed quite a bit about CLV2M: Expect a Tiësto original in "Chasing Summers," an "enormous" collaboration with Wolfgang Gartner on "We Own the Night" and "a high-energy team-up" with Swanky Tunes on "Make Some Noise."

On the remix side, CLV2M will feature Tiësto's already smoldering remix of Coldplay's "Paradise," Gotye's popular hit "Somebody That I Used to Know" and the Naked and Famous' "Young Blood," an effort that partnered him with Hardwell, his hometown buddy from Breda, Holland. Fans will be ecstatic to know that the mix album will also include a remix of Afrojack's latest smash success, "Can't Stop Me Now," which the statement describes as a "muscular, floor-filling affair."

Tiësto is set to headline Ultra Music Festival in Miami, and his label, Musical Freedom, will showcase an as-yet-unannounced roster of talent at the Fontainebleau Hotel's Arkadia Nightclub on Friday night, March 23.

Additionally piquing the interest of many fans is a possible charity Holland vs. Sweden DJ soccer match, which may take place during the week in Miami. Rumors swirling in the Twitterverse indicate that the Swedish House Mafia gents, Afrojack, Dada Life, Otto Knows, Sunnery & Ryan, Avicii, Alesso and more will be taking part. MTV News will have more on that if and when details emerge (fans can check out @DJFootballGames on Twitter as well).

Club Life: Volume 2 - Miami will also feature Baggi Begovic's "If a Lie Was Love," Sultan + Ned Shepard's "Walls" and Avesta's "Arena."

Avail PMP Online Training - Get To Know the Market Closely

Career skills are an indispensable feature that one needs to possess to be successful in any field, any career. Being good in project management courses is one such skill that provides you the edge, the advantage against your fellow competitors in the race for success.

Presently, it is fortunate to know that there are more than single means to learn or to be trained in project management courses. You can learn PMP online training, which is one of the most common modes of training. You can definitely have a look at other modes of learning project management too. However, most people who wish to take project management prefer PMP online training.

Primarily, one can opt for the training in three different ways. By joining an appropriate training institution, one could acquire the knowledge. One needs to attend the regular classes on a timely basis.

Few people opt for project management courses through conventional distance learning methods. While the third alternative, the most convenient of all other options, as mentioned earlier is to opt for PMP online training.
Let us consider the first alternative. There are several institutions, which offer both long-term and short-term courses. The courses are available in long-term and short-term mode. These courses cover up almost every concept associated to project management and they are very extensive, which is the most important thing that one to take in to consideration. On the other hand, taking up regular project management courses is a very expensive affair too. Compared to other courses, you get to pay twice or even thrice the amount. There is an additional catch associated with these courses. It would just not be possible to take up regular classes if you have a job. This is because it will be very hectic, maintaining both things on a timely manner.

Traditional distance learning courses is another option to choose for learning. This method of teaching is being offered by many numbers of institutions. They are very affordable too when one compares it to regular project management courses. However, this mode to learn project management has a number of disadvantages. Firstly, plenty of information technology is not involved in such method of teaching, even though project management has a lot to do with information technology and computers. Learning is all but a waste of time and money as an imperative constituent from project management lessons is deficient. You would end up learning the course in an incomplete manner, thereby making your grasp on the course feeble.

PMP online training is the third, it is undoubtedly the best, and the most preferred option today. You get the flexibility of distance education and the course material and the quality of education that is provided in regular courses, making it a combination of the benefits of both the courses. The course material wraps up all the important facets and concepts associated to information technology, as it is PMP online training. In addition, as the course is online, it is regularly updated. This keeps you updated with the current market scenario, thereby proving you better exposure.

Recent Gold Silver Prices | Providence Insurance Group

Silver prices will remain inversely proportional on the value belonging to the dollar within the short-term. Since the Federal Reserve continues purchasing government debt, the current trends are unlikely to alter study course. Silver is an industrial metal, which would make it scarcer in the long-term than other gold and silver. Most existing gold silver prices there?re under attack by the established fiscal oligarchy, and everyday people shopping for an option to currency favor silver. As folks locate a way to take care of your value of their savings, they are really seeking an effective investment that may be not expected to follow the worth of currencies like bonds or other paper assets. Some trade their fiat currency for commodities apart from metals such as coffee, sugar, or oil, but these items are bulky and difficult to maintain. This leaves the important metals because the most beneficial option when attempting to escape the worldwide demise of your fiat currency schemes.

The currencies of most nations are being devalued in an effort to convince the populations all around the globe to accept a unified currency, which is going to be controlled by an individual central entity. This radical idea is becoming met with considerable resistance, but the large economic entities which can be in favor of it possess the power to manipulate the have to have for currencies. By presenting vague arguments that rely on complex money equations, they depart the currency carrying populace to think about what they can comprehend. That is definitely the fact that their cash buys less of what they need by the day. When it gets towards the point that they can?t secure what they desire to sustain a comfortable lifestyle, countless people will begin to accept any idea that rescues them from this decline.

Commodities are materials that are employed in the actual world as raw products for that manufacture of other, even more complicated products. Some commodities are sold around the retail promote largely unchanged from their wholesale form. The agricultural commodities are perishable, but, and will not make really good investment vehicles. The higher volume to worth ratio means these are costly to store and keep, also. Lying between agricultural commodities and cherished metals when rated around the ease of maintenance will be the base metals. Although they really are a lot of less perishable and in addition have a lower volume to value ratio than agricultural goods, the ratio is very much larger than those of silver, gold, platinum, and other valuable metals. Something like a year?s income could be enough to fill a warehouse.

Staying Current And Focused

Those that are aware from the latest trends will act preemptively and trade the currency they have saved for something else that conserves the value of their earnings. Those products that increase in price the best since the worth of currency falls become quite preferred investments. This attractiveness serves to increase the rate where the value of such commodities rises. The commodities turn into an alternative choice to currency, the sector demand which is wholly outside in the practical interest in them as recyclables for manufacturing or consumption. The products that are easier to trade and easier to keep could be by far the most well known. Gold costs are rising similar to silver prices, but gold is extremely expensive. It?s always difficult to trade gold for small, comparatively cheap items. A piece the size of any hard earned cash is worth a cart filled with groceries. It?s difficult to trade for smaller items that may be worth an item the size of a grain of wheat. Over the other hand, latest gold silver prices have got the perfect volume to worth ratio to extremely ensure it is an excellent form of hard earned cash.

Silver prices still rise as being the worth of this currency falls since, throughout background, silver has been used for dollars quite a lot a lot more than any other substance about the earth. It does not decompose or rust away. It has utilizes in manufacturing, which provides it an intrinsic worth and can only in reality increase its worth a whole lot even more. Given that those that are in control belonging to the volume of currency within just the system have advanced their schemes to begin no return, there may be a will need to abandon currency in the past way too a lot price sheds. Important metals, especially silver, could be the only conceivable investment to preserve the wealth that an individual has accumulated. Latest gold silver prices even includes a prospective to be worthwhile if it?s purchased prior into the rush begins in earnest.

Business English Pod BEP 205 - Interviews: Switching Careers 2 ...

Business English for Job InterviewsThis is the first of a two-part Business English Pod lesson on job interviews for when you?re changing jobs or switching careers.

You can?t do the same thing for your entire life. That?s why you?ve chosen to make a change, to take your skills and experience and apply them to something new. But this comes with a challenge. How can you convince an interviewer that you?ve got what it takes to make the switch?

This is especially true for those of us who are more ?mature.? There?s an old saying: ?you can?t teach an old dog new tricks.? Well, your task in the interview is to show why this saying is wrong. And you need to demonstrate why an ?old dog? brings a lot more to the table than a younger dog.

In today?s lesson, we?ll rejoin Patrick, an accountant who?s interviewing for a position with an advisory firm. Frank and Nina are conducting the interview. We?ll hear Patrick demonstrate some key interview skills; he?s going to answer hypothetical questions, highlight transferable skills, and demonstrate research. He?s also going to make polite suggestions and ask good questions.

Listening Questions

1. Why does Patrick talk about his work developing junior accountants?
2. What is Patrick?s suggestion about training and development?
3. What does Patrick want to know about the position?

The Number One Mistake People Make in Public Speaking

In public speaking, the more you prepare, the worse you do.

Have you ever felt like this? I know I sure have.

Don?t get me wrong, preparation is important. But, much of your success depends on ?how? you prepare.

Let me explain.

People often have the wrong focus when preparing their speeches. They over their purpose. Consequently, this causes them to ?over prepare. ?

In this case, the more you prepare, the worse you will probably do.

On the other hand, if you know your subject intimately or if you?ve spoken about it many times over, you may need very little preparation at all. All you would need to do is remind yourself of the two or three main points you want to make along the way.

Personally, I enjoy speeches when I can tell the speaker is following an outline while using a bit of ?impromptu? language.

You see over-preparation shows a lack of confidence and competence.

You either don?t know your subject well enough or you don?t feel confident enough to speak in public.

If you?re lacking knowledge, research is the key.

If you?re lacking confidence, EXPOSURE is the key.

Put yourself in the spotlight over and over again ? trusting in your natural ability to speak. I guarantee you if you do it enough, you?ll start to improve.

If you want to take this seriously, I recommend you solicit opportunities to speak in public.

A great way to start is to volunteer to conduct training workshops at your job. Or, join Toastmasters ? an organization created for the purpose of helping people just like you improve their public speaking skills. The more you do this, the better you?ll become.

I promise.

Any way you decide, keep getting in front of others to deliver your value.

In no time at all you?ll gain confidence and start to respect the natural communicator within you.

If overcoming speaking anxiety is difficult for you, you need a proven system that has worked for thousands of people.

Discover the proven shortcuts to learn public speaking.

News Story - The Grammar School at Leeds, GSAL, Leeds ...

Pupils from primary schools across Leeds have been working with teachers from the Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) and well-known local poets on a new creative writing project that brings the written and spoken word to life.

The brainchild of Jenny Webb, an English teacher from GSAL, and Adam Lowe, writer and publisher from Leeds, the project is encouraging Year 5 pupils from five primary schools in Leeds to ?Speak Up? and express themselves through poetry.

Over the last month, pupils from participating schools have attended workshops with visiting poets, writing poetry with an Olympic theme which they will perform at a poetry ?slam? at GSAL, competing to be crowned ?Speak Up? junior champions.

Jenny Webb said, ?The idea for this project came from the Leeds Young Authors poetry slam last year. Our teaching staff and pupils were so inspired that we created the ?Speak Up? project, which involves our Senior School, Junior School and five Leeds-based primary schools learning about the creative writing process before competing in an American-style poetry slam.

?The pupils have so much to learn from each other. Poetry is all about expression of ideas and it is such a treat to see pupils from all walks of life sharing their experiences through the ?Speak Up? project.?

Poet Simon Murray delivered a workshop for Year 5 children at Pool CE School. Their teacher Sally Fox said, ?The year 5 children threw themselves into the workshop with great enthusiasm, Simon showed them how to draw on their own experiences to create poetry unique to themselves. They worked well together in groups, using words creatively to express themselves based on what is familiar to them.?

Jenny says, ?The workshops have produced some truly stunning pieces of poetry from the pupils. Year 5 pupils are extremely receptive to group work such as this and have fewer inhibitions so can express themselves more freely. We are all very much looking forward to the poetry slam and seeing what creative performances each team gives.?

Lead poet, Adam Lowe, added, ?Speak Up is different to the programmes going on elsewhere in the country, because it actively fosters collaboration and skills-sharing between schools. Teachers and pupils can experience language in new ways that make the written and spoken word exciting, while empowering the next generation from Leeds to speak up and speak out.?

Pictured are Jenny Webb and Simon Murray with Year 5 children from Pool CE Primary School:?l-r Robert Grange, Samuel Parsons, Elliott Reddish-Good, Harry Norris, Imogen Webster, Lucy Dobson, Megan Hoban.

Bottom Line - Celeb real estate: Air Jordan, Anderson Cooper are ...

By Erika Riggs, Zillow

This week in celebrity real estate, one of the biggest names in basketball, Michael Jordan, posts his enormous estate on the open market. Also Anderson Cooper moves on from his chic NYC penthouse and Dancing with the Stars contestant Gavin DeGraw lists a remarkably normal home for sale.

Michael Jordan lists Chicago-area estate for $29 million

Zillow

Michael Jordan's famous jersey number marks the front gates of his home.

An indoor regulation-sized basketball court, high-end amenities, and security gates emblazoned with the famous number 23 ? this sprawling Chicago estate can only belong to one person.

Michael Jordan's Chicago-area home has officially hit the Highland Park real estate market with a price tag befitting the NBA MVP: $29 million.

Five years after Jordan's pricy divorce from his wife of 17 years, Juanita, their longtime home is for sale. Although the home has more than just a few traces of the Hall of Famer, Juanita is the one who reportedly owns the property, winning it in their $168 million divorce settlement.

The custom home sprawls over eight acres in the high-end Chicago suburb of Highland Park. Situated about 30 miles outside of Chicago, Highland Park home values currently average $387,400.

Zillow

The Jordans' custom estate was finished in 1995.

The Jordans' home has 56,000 square feet of living space, which includes nine bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and five fireplaces. The property also includes a guesthouse, pool area, outdoor tennis court and three garages.

Anderson Cooper lists Garment District penthouse for $3.75 million

Zillow

A floating staircase leads from the entry to the main living space.

A penthouse with "unparalleled style and sophistication" could only have an owner with the same sensibilities.

Anderson Cooper's apartment is a former manufacturing space completely transformed into a sleek bachelor pad by the talk-show host and CNN news anchor. According to property records, Cooper bought the home in 2005 for $2.48 million. With his renovations completed, the two-floor penthouse was recently listed for sale in the Garment District for $3.75 million.

Filled with custom touches ? from Lustron lighting and multi-room surround sound system to aged Chambord oak floors and etched glass detailing ? Cooper's home has about 3,100 square feet of living space, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A landscaped deck with gas grill adds an additional 1,700 square feet.

Zillow

Walls of acid-etched glass separate portions of the master bath.

The first floor holds the master suite and attached master bath, which features limestone and teak flooring, a claw-foot soaking tub and large shower.

Up a floating staircase, the gourmet kitchen leads to an open dining area and living room with wood-burning fireplaces and views of downtown Manhattan.

DWTS contestant and singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw lists Florida home

Gavin DeGraw's home is probably not what most people picture when they hear the phrase "celebrity real estate."

Zillow

Gavin DeGraw's home is a Spanish-style bungalow.

Although the singer/songwriter's home is listed on the Hollywood real estate market, it's the other Hollywood ? the one in Florida. And unlike other stars' properties, the home is listed for six figures, not seven or more.

According to the property listing, and public sales records, DeGraw purchased the home for $510,000 in May 2006. The home is now listed for a loss at $365,000 ? a 71 percent price cut.

DeGraw first gained popularity when his song "I Don't Want To Be" was used as the theme song for TV's drama "One Tree Hill" and his following album release "Chariot" was certified platinum.

Zillow

One clue to the owner of the home? A room filled with instruments.

It was also just announced that DeGraw will be adding dancing to his repertoire this spring with a stint on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

Born and raised in South Fallsburg, NY, a small hamlet about two hours north of New York City, DeGraw likely used this home ? and a condo he bought in Hollywood in 2007, which is located closer to the beach ? for his snowbird getaways.

What's Holding You Back From Your Goal? | Self Improvement Blogs ...

Too many of us have a superb goal of things they could accomplish, but they aren?t moving toward it. If this describes you, why? Why does this glorious vision not move you, not prompt you to take action to reach it?

One possible reason is that it?s not your goal.

I knew a man who knew how to play the piano. He had practiced for twelve years and he could play any sort of music: classical, jazz, popular. He knew how to play it all.

At least that is what I was told, because I never actually heard him play. So one day I asked him why I?d never heard him play and he answered, ?When I finished my last year of piano classes, I swore I?d never touch a piano again.?

?Why?? I asked in astonishment.

?Because I never wanted to play the piano. It was my mother?s goal.?

So is your goal somebody else?s goal for you? Is it the goal of a parent? A teacher? A best friend? Society? Is it a goal that excites you or one that excites somebody else?

There?s a way to find out.

Imagine you are standing in front of all of the people who know what your goal is and you renounce it. Imagine that you say, ?I am no longer committed to this goal. It is not for me.? How would these people respond? Some will be shocked, some might be indifferent, some may even approve. But is there anyone who would be upset, or annoyed, or disappointed? If that is the case, then that?s the person whose goal it is.

So if the goal is someone else?s, do you now give it up? Is it time to grow your own goals and move on?

Maybe, but there?s a catch.

The catch is that although the goal came from somebody else, in time you might have come to take on parts of it as your own. My piano-avoiding friend may have discovered, somewhere along the way, that he had fun playing some types of music but did not wish to disclose it to his mother. If, over time , you?ve come to regard at least some part of the goal as your own, you now have to claim it as yours and not renounce it.

How could you figure out whether you have adopted it as your own?

Pretend that you?re face to face with the person whose goal it is and, even before you reject the goal, imagine that that person says to you, ?I think you should move on from that goal. It isn?t for you.?

How would you react? Maybe you would be pleased. Perhaps it wouldn?t matter to you. In these cases, the goal has not become yours and you can move on.

But if your reaction is anger or upset, or if your answer is along the lines of, ?Don?t tell me what to do with my life,? then you have come to see the goal as yours. Now is the time to welcome it, to separate from the person that gave it to you. Now is the time to declare, ?My goal is ? ?.
