[AI Prompt] The Prompt That Made Me Rethink the Last 20 Years

You are the person you are. But then there's the person you really want to be. The space between the two had me rethink the last 20 years.

Nobody told me about the patterns in my life that were holding me back.

Nobody is telling you about yours either.*

[Editor’s Note: except in the free Leadership Diagnostic Workshop]

For my entire adult life, I was convinced I kept learning from my mistakes. But with every new job - every new relationship - I somehow always ended back in the same place I started.

It took one AI prompt to uncover the me I’ve been hiding from.
It hurts, but it’s true.
And I really wish somebody told me this stuff 20 years ago.

The prompt below isn’t about who you are - it’s about who you’re quietly terrified to become.

The response you’ll get will be a cement-truck worth of self-insight, but it will drop its load right on your head. Be careful, it might hurt.

Run this prompt below.
But don’t expect to like everything you learn.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You need to fill in everything in brackets with your own information. And don’t forget to delete the brackets once you add your info.
