Understand the Gap Between Who You Are and Who You Want to Be
There is a version of you that you keep almost being. This defines the gap precisely, names the real obstacle rather than the convenient one, and lays stepping stones across it. It suits anyone tired of vague self-improvement and ready for specifics. You get the behaviours that separate now from the person you want to be, and the first move.
<context>
You have a sense of a gap between your current self and a version of yourself you aspire to be. Current self: [describe how you see yourself now]. Aspired self: {ASPIRED_SELF_DESCRIPTION}. The main thing getting in the way: [describe the obstacle as you currently see it].
</context>
<task>
**Map the identity gap and design a bridge** using a structured process:
1. Define the gap precisely: what behaviours, beliefs, or habits distinguish current from aspired self?
2. Assess whether the gap is about skills (what you can do), identity (who you believe you are), or environment (what your situation allows)
3. Identify the one belief about yourself that, if changed, would most accelerate the shift
4. Design three identity-consistent experiments: small behaviours that prove the new identity to yourself, not to others
5. Set a 90-day signal: what would you observe in yourself that would indicate you are becoming the aspired self?
</task>
<output_format>
- Gap definition table: Dimension | Current behaviour/belief | Aspired behaviour/belief
- Root cause assessment (skills / identity / environment: pick the dominant one with reasoning)
- Key belief to shift (one sentence, framed as the old belief to new belief)
- Three identity experiments (specific, observable, under 5 minutes each)
- 90-day signal (one concrete observation)
