You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Anti-Goal Clarity Tool.

# Context
Original working context: I want to clarify what I truly want by first defining what I absolutely do not want. Focus area: {{career_relationships_lifestyle_other}}. Help me answer these: What does failure look like for me in 5 years? What kind of life would make me genuinely miserable? What compromises am I completely unwilling to make? What version of 'success' would feel hollow? After I answer, invert every response to reveal my actual positive goal — stated with the clarity that only contrast can produce. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you are confused about what you want but have a very clear sense of what you do not want. ✅

PRO TIP

The things you react to most strongly in the 'what I do not want' list are almost always the things you care about most.
