Want to try it?!
"Reflect on 2025, and based on our conversations from 2025, please provide a 'sharp psychological analysis' of my 'strengths' and, conversely, the 'challenges I have unconsciously avoided'! Then, based on that analysis: What should I 'prioritize in 2026'? What 'courageous decisions' should I make in the first half of 2026? Please provide specific advice!"

Try inputting this into ChatGPT！！
My profession is [XX].
（＊Insert your own profession here）
You are a world-class strategic consultant who views things through structure, not emotion.
Please analyze based on the following conditions: [Premise]
I am continuing my current work "without major dissatisfaction."
However, I intuitively feel that "if I stay on this path, I’ll hit a dead end."
I am not afraid of change; I am afraid of miscalculating the situation.
[Questions]
List the three most essential reasons why "continuing my current work will lead to failure." Do this from a structural and long-term perspective, not through emotional arguments. For each reason, please clarify:
Problems that are hard to see now but will definitely surface in 5–10 years.
The typical thought patterns that cause many people to look the other way.
Please mercilessly verbalize the "excuses to avoid changing" that I might be unconsciously using.
Finally, describe the following scenarios if I were to continue my current work:
The "worst-case future scenario."
The "scenario where regrets quietly accumulate," using specific imagery. Please prioritize honesty over kindness.
*This is a prompt to face "how things will get worse" from this point forward.
↓↓↓And then next, this is what you put in！
You are a calm and essential Master Coach who has orchestrated multiple V-shaped recoveries from rock bottom. I am currently in a "worst-case situation" where I clearly feel that the premises I succeeded on have crumbled, and continuing like this will lead to ruin. Please treat this situation not as a temporary failure or bad luck, but as an inevitable process for life to transition to the next phase. Please answer the following questions step-by-step:
【STEP 1 | Clarifying the Finished World】
Identify three ways of living, working, or self-definitions that this "worst-case situation" is mercilessly telling me to "stop continuing" or that have "fulfilled their role."
If I were to continue them, describe with specific imagery a future that appears stable on the surface but is quietly decaying.
【STEP 2 | Finding the "Core" that Remains After Deletion】 3. Even if I lost everything, what are the values, impulses, talents, and questions that remain within me?
Things I do even without evaluation.
Things I think about even if they don't make money.
Things I want to talk about even if no one asks. Integrate these and verbalize them as the "OS for my next life."
【STEP 3 | Defining the True Nature of the V-Shaped Recovery】 4. This V-shaped recovery is not about "returning to how things were." What do I need to not "take back," and what do I need to "re-define"? 5. Clarify the shifts in consciousness, perspective, and choice that would never have happened if not for this worst-case situation.
【STEP 4 | What to do in the First 7 Days】 6. Without trying to get immediate results, present three "small and certain actions" to take in the first 7 days to regain energy and initiative. Do not consider results, evaluation, or efficiency at all.
【STEP 5 | Integration from the Future (Future Memory)】 7. Five years from now, having achieved a complete V-shaped recovery, my future self speaks to my current self: "It all began from that worst-case moment." Explain the three reasons why, quietly, from that future perspective.
Finally, provide "just one core message" that I should remember every morning. Choose words that spark an awakening, not just comfort.

This is a talk about switching mindsets to leap forward after a period of stagnation, along with specific guidelines for action.
I will summarize this content step-by-step as a theoretical framework, stripping away personal anecdotes and redundant expressions.
A Theoretical and Step-by-Step Framework for Growth and Success
This speech is a theoretical approach regarding self-transformation and organizational theory to break through the status quo and achieve higher results. Its core lies in a step-by-step process starting from a "transformation in the quality of information," moving through "self-acceptance" and "collaboration with others," and arriving at "the nature of leadership."
Phase 1: Transformation of Information and Action (The Foundation of a Paradigm Shift)
1. Information Asymmetry and the Value of Experience
Theory: The difference in life choices and results stems from a "difference in information." Unknown information can only be obtained through unknown experiences (meeting people you’ve never met, going to places you’ve never been, doing things you’ve never done).
Action Guideline: The future will not change by maintaining the status quo (maximizing the repetition of the past). You must intentionally incorporate new information (new actions) and lower the psychological hurdle to the unknown.
2. Verbalization of Philosophy and Resonance
Theory: A clear personal philosophy (mission, values) becomes an unshakeable axis. People gather not around "the person themselves," but around the "philosophy and purpose" that person broadcasts.
Action Guideline: Verbalize and broadcast what you want to achieve and what you value. This creates a strong resonance with others who share the same philosophy. (e.g., The importance of understanding the "information and education" in another person’s background.)
Phase 2: Building Relationships and Techniques for Self-Management
3. Accumulation of Trust Capital
Theory: The foundation of business is human relationships, where "being trusted" takes priority over "being liked."
Action Guideline: Trust is formed through the accumulation of fundamental efforts: being consistent, aligning words with actions (integrity), and keeping promises (especially regarding time). An attitude of refining your substance (essence) rather than just your appearance is vital.
4. The Dynamics of Tension Control
Theory: For activities that are important but not urgent (such as building a business), maintaining motivation is the greatest challenge. Tension is energy; when it is depleted, action stops.
Action Guideline: Manage the fluctuations of tension. It rises with "Input" (learning, stimulation) and falls with "Output" (action). Maintain this balance (e.g., a 3-to-1 ratio of input to output) and intentionally schedule input opportunities to consistently maintain a high energy state.
5. Behavioral Change Through Environment Setting
Theory: A person's thoughts, habits, and standard values are strongly influenced by the people around them (the environment).
Action Guideline: Consciously choose who you spend time with and design your environment. Place yourself in an environment where heat is contagious by spending time with serious people and those with high standards.
Phase 3: Optimization of Thought and Self-Acceptance
6. The Importance of Objective Analysis
Theory: The greatest cause of failure lies in "flawed self-styled analysis" of failures.
Action Guideline: Do not change your course based on subjective assumptions. Obtain objective analysis and feedback from those who have already succeeded to correct your thoughts and actions.
7. Intuition and Immediate Action Plan (Practicing the right brain)
Theory: If you do not act, you maintain the status quo (meaning you neither fail nor succeed). Intuition (the right brain) can sometimes produce the correct answer faster than logic (the left brain).
Action Guideline: Move to action before your mind can think and negate inspirations or intuitions. Increase the absolute volume of action to heighten the probability of encountering opportunities.
8. Self Acceptance and Utilizing Strengths
Theory: Sometimes the cause of a lack of results is not the external environment, but self-negation. Humans are beings with different strengths and weaknesses.
Action Guideline: Instead of searching for and blaming your weaknesses, acknowledge and accept yourself (Self-Compassion). Do not compare yourself to others; clearly recognize your strengths and weaknesses, and shift toward leveraging your strengths.
Phase 4: Transformation of Leadership and Organizational Theory
9. The "Capable People Do It for Others" Collaboration Theory
Theory: The traditional approach of "making someone do it themselves to encourage growth" is sometimes inefficient and causes stress for both parties. Assume that "people do not change easily" and transition to a collaborative system that multiplies strengths.
Action Guideline (from the philosophy of Hitori Saito): Adopt the mindset that "those who can, do it (even for those who can't)." By having people who excel in a specific area handle that domain, you maximize the speed and strength of the entire team.
10. Organizational Strategy Based on Innovator Theory
Theory: In an organization, there are groups that accept new values quickly (Innovators, Early Adopters) and those that follow (Majority). Do not force everyone to become a leader; wait for leaders to emerge naturally.
Action Guideline: The leader themselves takes the lead in all actions ("those who can, do it"), creating a sense of speed and rhythm. Create an environment where true innovators and early adopters naturally rise to the top within that whirlpool.
