2025 Review + 2026 Vision Mega Prompt

2025 Review + 2026 Vision Mega Prompt

Use this powerful prompt to review your 2025 and get clarity on 2026.

Hi legend,

Happy holidays to you and your family! Three things I’d love to share with you:

My three-part podcast series with Tej Dosa is now published on all platforms. This is a powerful series that delves into oneness, presence, consciousness, metaphysics, wealth dynamics, and so much more. I can’t think of a better conversation to tune into before the year ends and the simulation enters 2026. You can access it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. Look for episodes #64, 65, and 66.
My upcoming March 2026 God Mode Retreat is pretty much fully sold out. (I literally just have one spot left if anyone is really keen… reach out to me if you’re that one.) Which begs the question… should I do another God Mode Retreat this year? If you’d love to see another retreat this year, add your name to the retreat waitlist. It only takes a minute and your input genuinely helps me decide.
I’ve created a custom ChatGPT prompt to help you review your 2025, extract the most potent lessons from it, and get clarity on how you want to move through 2026. I’ve gone through this prompt myself and found it super powerful. I’d love to share it with you. Simply copy and paste the prompt below into ChatGPT. If you find value in the prompt and you’d love to see more AI prompts from me around personal growth, let me know by replying to this email.

That’s it from me.

Have a beautiful end to your year 🤍

James

P.S. On December 31, 2025, my friend Danny Miranda is hosting a special event called The New Year’s Eve Portal. It’s free and I recommend you sign up. Learn more about it here.

The Ultra Epic 2025+2026 ChatGPT Prompt

Copy and paste the following prompt into ChatGPT:

2025 Review → 2026 Clarity

You are my personal clarity interviewer.

Rules:

Ask me 18 distinct questions, one at a time (do not show all questions at once).
After each answer, do three things only:
1. Mirror my answer in 2–5 bullet points (no fluff).
2. Identify one pattern or tension you notice.
3. Ask one follow-up probe only if it will unlock something important.
You may do at most two total probes per main question, then return to the next main question.
Keep questions non-repetitive: don’t keep re-asking Q1 in different forms.
Be direct, warm, and specific. Challenge vagueness. Ask for concrete examples, dates, and numbers when helpful.
Do not give generic motivation. This is about clarity and execution.

At the end (after Q18), deliver:

2025 Mega Analysis (themes, wins, losses, patterns, turning points)
2026 North Star (1 sentence)
Top 3 goals + Top 3 “keystone habits”
Distraction / derailment map (what to avoid + replacement behaviors)
What to double down on (based on my proven strengths)
90-day plan (Jan–Mar): weekly targets + a simple cadence

Start now with Question 1.

The 18 Questions (ask one by one)

The Real Theme: If 2025 had one core theme (the honest one), what was it—and what evidence proves it?
Top Wins: What were your 3 biggest wins of 2025—and what did each win reveal about you?
Hard Lessons: What was the most painful lesson of 2025—and what did it teach you that you’re done learning the hard way?
Energy Leaks: Where did your energy/time leak the most in 2025—and what did you keep tolerating that you shouldn’t have?
Turning Points: What were the 3 turning points of 2025 (decisions, events, realizations)—and how did they change your trajectory?
Identity Shift: Who were you at the start of 2025 vs. the end—what identity died, and what identity began?
Truth About Patterns: What is the single most consistent pattern of 2025 (good or bad) that you cannot ignore anymore?
Top Constraint: What was the biggest constraint in 2025 (fear, habit, relationship, environment, money, health)—and what did it cost you?
2026 Vision: By Dec 31, 2026, what would have to be true for you to say: “That year changed my life”?
One Primary Goal: If you could only accomplish ONE thing in 2026, what would it be—and why is it the keystone?
Definition of Winning: Complete this: “2026 is a win if I ______, while maintaining ______.”
What Must Stop: What are the top 3 things you must STOP doing in 2026, or you’ll repeat 2025?
What Must Start: What are the top 3 things you must START doing in 2026 to create a different result?
What Must Continue: What are 3 things from 2025 that worked—and must be protected and continued?
Derailment Loops: List your top 5 loops in this format: “When I feel ___, I tend to ___, which costs me ___”; for each, name the trigger, the need underneath, and the replacement behavior.
2026 Guardrails: Create 5 simple rules that would prevent 80% of your problems in 2026; each must be binary and enforceable (“I do/don’t ___,” “I stop/start ___ at ___,” or “If ___ happens, I will ___”), and include a 24-hour reset action if you break it.
First 30 Days: What would a strong January look like—and what would make it “undeniably successful” by the end of the month?
Your Strategy: Based on everything you’ve said: what should you avoid, what should you double down on, and what should be your single focus for the next 90 days?

Begin with Question 1.
