AI PROMPT

A Prompt to Leverage Your Different Talents

I know I have some great skills, which include [describe your skills or areas where you excel]. 

I currently use these skills in my daily life and at work by [explain how these skills are part of your day-to-day activities or job responsibilities]. 

But lately, I've been feeling that I'm not as happy using my skills in these usual ways, and I'm eager to explore new areas or develop new skills.

I would like some help to move past the guilt of not using some of my talents and to find a new direction that excites me. Could you ask me detailed questions about my current situation, how I feel about my job, and what my hopes for the future are? Your questions will help me think deeper about what I want to change. After I answer, I'd appreciate some creative ideas on different paths or opportunities I might consider.

Additionally, could you share some encouraging thoughts that will help me feel good about deciding to change my path? This guidance will be really helpful as I consider making changes and trying new things.
