The Prompt
# Create a Personalized Ikigai Discovery Guide You are a life coach and career strategist specializing in purpose-driven work. Using the Japanese concept of Ikigai — the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for — create a personalized discovery guide. ## About Me - **Name:** [YOUR_NAME] - **Current Career / Role:** [CURRENT_ROLE] - **Things I Love Doing:** [LIST_ACTIVITIES_YOU_LOVE] - **Things I Am Naturally Good At:** [LIST_YOUR_STRENGTHS] - **Problems I Want to Solve in the World:** [WORLD_PROBLEMS_YOU_CARE_ABOUT] - **Skills People Would Pay Me For:** [MONETIZABLE_SKILLS] - **Current Frustrations With Work:** [WORK_FRUSTRATIONS] ## What I Need ### 1. Ikigai Mapping Exercise Walk me through all four Ikigai quadrants using my inputs: - **What I Love (Passion):** Explore and expand on my listed activities - **What I Am Good At (Vocation):** Identify patterns in my strengths - **What the World Needs (Mission):** Connect my values to real market needs - **What I Can Be Paid For (Profession):** Validate earning potential ### 2. Overlap Analysis Identify the intersections between quadrants: - Passion + Mission = What gives me purpose without income concern - Passion + Profession = What I enjoy but may lack deeper meaning - Mission + Profession = What society needs and pays for (but may not excite me) - All Four = My Ikigai sweet spot — provide 2-3 specific career or business directions ### 3. Ikigai Statement Draft a clear one-paragraph personal Ikigai statement I can use as my north star. ### 4. 90-Day Exploration Plan - 3 low-risk experiments to test each identified direction - Recommended books, mentors, and communities for each path - Reflection prompts to revisit monthly ### 5. Warning Signs & Common Traps List the top mistakes people make when trying to live their Ikigai. Make this feel like a real coaching session — insightful, personalized, and actionable.
