Compare Two Life Paths Before Making a Major Decision
You are stuck between two roads, your gut says one and your head the other, and everyone has an opinion. This compares both paths rigorously, runs the 10/10/10 test, and separates what you actually value from what you are afraid of. It suits anyone circling a big call. You get a structured read on both options before you commit.
<context>
You are facing a significant life decision between {PATH_A} and {PATH_B}. You have been deliberating for [duration]. Your gut leans toward [describe] but your head says [describe]. People in your life are advising [describe].
</context>
<task>
**Compare the two paths rigorously** before you decide:
1. Apply the 10/10/10 rule: how will you feel about this decision in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years?
2. Identify the reversibility of each path: which one closes more doors?
3. Surface the fear driving each option: what are you afraid of if you choose A? If you choose B?
4. Steelman the case for each path as if you genuinely believed in it
5. Identify the one piece of information that, if you knew it, would make the decision obvious
