This prompt asks the AI to write two eulogies: the one that would honestly reflect your current life, and the one you actually want. Then it identifies the three specific gaps between them — and assigns concrete actions for this week. Not someday. Not eventually. This week.
Mortality is the most clarifying lens available. Most people use it as a comfort — 'life is short, appreciate what you have.' This prompt uses it as a scalpel. The uncomfortable eulogy is not meant to shame you. It's meant to show you exactly what needs to change and in which direction.
This is the most confrontational prompt in the course. Read both eulogies before reacting to either. The gap between them is not a verdict — it's a map.
Two eulogies (honest vs. desired), three identified gaps, and three concrete this-week actions — one per gap. The output is structured as a gap analysis, not a motivational essay.
Describe your current life with the same objectivity you'd use if you were describing a stranger. What do you actually spend your hours on? What are your relationships actually like — not the story you tell about them, but the texture of them day to day? What does your career look like from the outside? The honest eulogy is only as useful as the honesty of your input.
