What This Prompt Does

This prompt asks the AI to write two eulogies: one that honestly reflects the life you're living now, and the one you actually want. Then it names the three specific gaps between them — and gives you concrete actions for this week. Not someday. Not eventually. This week.

Nothing makes life clearer than facing death. Most people use it for comfort — 'life is short, be grateful.' This prompt uses it like a scalpel. The uncomfortable eulogy isn't there to shame you. It's there to show you exactly what needs to change, and which way to go.

⚠

This is the most confronting prompt in the course. Read both eulogies before you react to either. The gap between them isn't a verdict — it's a map.

The Prompt

◆ Practice

COPY THIS PROMPT — The Death Meditation

MORTALITY + TRUTH
  1. 1Write my eulogy as it would be delivered if I died this week. Use these facts about my current life: [DESCRIBE YOUR CURRENT STATE — career, relationships, daily routine, what you spend most time on]. Make it honest, not flattering. Then write the eulogy I actually want — the one that would make me proud to have lived. Now identify the 3 specific gaps between them. For each gap: tell me the first action I could take THIS WEEK to begin closing it. Not someday. Not when I'm ready. This week. No inspiration. Just truth.

What It Produces

Two eulogies — the honest one and the one you want — three gaps between them, and three concrete actions for this week, one per gap. It reads like a gap analysis, not a motivational essay.

How to Use It

Describe your current life as plainly as you would a stranger's. What do you actually spend your hours on? What are your relationships really like — not the story you tell, but how they feel day to day? What does your career look like from the outside? The honest eulogy is only as useful as the honesty you put in.

✦
Revelation

The gap between who you are and who you want to be is not a failure. It is the exact distance you are meant to travel.
