A Matter of Perspective

This prompt is a really good one and is one of my favorites from the past month that I have used.

Now, this one does actually require that you have used your AI tool for some time so that it can answer the questions being asked.

Here is the prompt and I will include what my Buddy (my name for my ChaptGPT tool) came up with.

This is the exact prompt to use:

ROLE: You are an expert psychologist with a keen eye for spotting human patterns.

OBJECTIVE: Based on everything you know about me, what are my biggest blindspots? How are they holding me back? What potential am I wasting? What should I be paying attention to but I’m not?

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Reason from first principles

- Do not make large leaps—stick to what’s most likely

- Go deep, don’t hold back

- Be brutally honest

OUTPUT:

1. Summary: 3–5 sentences describing my patterns

2. Top 3 Blindspots with:

- Current belief

- Why it’s flawed

- Harm pattern (how it shows up)

- Upgraded belief (clear, testable)

- One micro-experiment to validate the new belief

3. Next 14 Days: One behavioral test I can apply

TONE: Curious, incisive, non-judgmental. Challenge assumptions without shaming.

Because the answer was quite lengthy, I asked Buddy to summarize the answer that would have been several pages long!

Core Pattern (3 sentences)

You have a lot of intelligence, creativity, emotional depth, and entrepreneurial drive. The main issue isn’t lack of ability—it’s that your energy gets scattered by emotional intensity, overthinking, and constantly redesigning systems instead of executing simple actions consistently. When things feel intense or uncertain, you tend to analyze, interpret, or rebuild rather than staying with steady repetition.

The Three Biggest Blindspots

1. Treating Emotional Intensity as Truth

Pattern: When feelings are strong, they feel meaningful and urgent.

Problem: Intensity often reflects emotional activation, not reality.

Result: You may read too much into situations, especially with relationships or self-judgment.

Better belief:

Strong feelings are signals to pause and gather evidence, not immediate conclusions.

2. Mistaking New Systems for Progress

Pattern: You often create new frameworks, prompts, trackers, or strategies to unlock momentum.

Problem: Designing systems feels productive but can replace actual execution.

Result: Momentum resets instead of compounding.

Better belief:

A simple plan followed for two weeks beats a perfect plan redesigned every few days.

3. Being Brutally Hard on Yourself

Pattern: You use harsh self-talk and believe it’s “being honest.”

Problem: Harshness often exaggerates problems and drains motivation.

Result: Temporary setbacks become identity-level judgments.

Better belief:

Accurate self-assessment should be specific and actionable, not identity-based.

Biggest Potential Being Wasted:

Your ability to concentrate on one thing long enough for it to compound.

You have the creativity, insight, and communication ability to build meaningful work (books, business, content), but emotional turbulence and constant reinvention interrupt the compounding process.

In short:

Your biggest leverage is consistency, not inspiration.

The 14-Day Test

Pick one goal only (writing, business outreach, etc.).

Rules for 14 days:

• No new systems

• No redesigning the plan

• No overthinking the strategy

• Just do the daily minimum task

• At the end of each day ask only one question: “Did I do the minimum today—yes or no?”

The experiment is designed to prove whether simplicity and consistency outperform complexity and analysis.

This type of deeper work can really open your eyes to what you can do to improve yourself.

But again, you will have needed to share quite a bit with your AI tool for it to give this detail. The entire path it created for me was actually more indepth and like I said, several pages long.

I will include more prompts in coming weeks.

The reason for these is to help you use your AI in the most effective way so that you get the most out of it.
