Critique Your Own Life Story Narrative for Limiting Beliefs

"I'm not creative," "I've always been rubbish with money" - the stories you tell about yourself quietly filter what you let yourself attempt. Write out your current life narrative and this prompt examines it for limiting beliefs dressed up as honest self-awareness. Uncomfortable, but the kind that shifts things. Good for anyone who suspects their own story is holding them back.

<context>
The stories we tell about ourselves function as filters, amplifying evidence that confirms them and screening out evidence that contradicts them. Limiting narratives often masquerade as honest self-awareness: "I'm not creative," "I've always been bad with money," "I don't do well under pressure." Examining them rigorously is uncomfortable but transformative.

<task>
Write your current life story in 200-300 words, including your key strengths, your significant failures or struggles, and your beliefs about where you are heading. Then critique this narrative using three lenses: Selective Evidence (what positive counter-evidence are you ignoring?), Identity Foreclosure (which statements treat a past pattern as a permanent characteristic?), and Agency Attribution (are you the protagonist or a passive recipient of events?).

<output_format>
First: your narrative (200-300 words, written in first person, honestly). Then three critique sections (Selective Evidence, Identity Foreclosure, Agency Attribution), each containing two to three specific sentences from your narrative as evidence and a two-paragraph analysis. Conclude with three revised belief statements that incorporate the counter-evidence.
