Personalizing the Prompt

While this prompt generates general quotes, I’ve customized my version to include specific authors and books that resonate with me. This personalization adds a meaningful touch, reflecting works that have shaped my perspective. You can do the same or keep it general for broader appeal.

For instance, my Task 3 looks like this:

**Task 3: Inspirational Quotes**
- Provide quotes relevant to the themes of the diary entry from the following authors and books:
  - *Lao Tzu* (*Tao Te Ching*): Timeless wisdom and philosophy.
  - *Thich Nhat Hanh*: Mindfulness and inner peace.
  - *Kent Nerburn* (*Letters to My Son*): Practical life wisdom and heartfelt guidance.

- Use these quotes as reflections, lessons, or inspiration tied to the emotions and themes of the diary entry. Include one or more quotes as appropriate, but only if they feel relevant and meaningful.

If you’re a paid OpenAI customer, I also recommend creating a custom GPT model. Simply add your version of the prompt into the instructions section to easily reuse it whenever needed.
