I made ChatGPT and Gemini list the 7 most brutally honest questions everyone should ask themselves — and they altered my outlook on life

I feel like everyone should have a quiet moment to themselves once in a while so they can do some proper self-reflection. I’ve been doing that a lot lately, especially since I’m close to crossing the 40-year-old milestone and entering the next decade of my life.

And there are other portions of my life that could be labeled under “room for improvement.” Being a realist doesn’t come easy — my days as a happy-go-lucky optimist are gone, yet I still approach life with a positive mindset (it’s just backed by a more rational outlook on everything instead of relying on wishful thinking).
