It is for people who need help visualizing things. No one wants to hear the truth. If you are a lazy unmotivated lump you will never be rich or achieve your dreams. The people who are motivated, self starting and works for what they want don't need those kinds of messages.

Something I learned like a year or two ago was there are some people who can't really picture images in there head or something, they can only focus on a small detail, like how you could imagine an apple, flip it around or move it around in your head? Yeah they can't do that, they have to focus on one aspect like the stem or the texture of it.

I'm one of those people. I can't really visualize in the sense of mental images or pictures. My brain is almost entirely verbal - I think in terms of words, numbers, sounds, and concepts.

I even pretty much dream in narrative - for most people you can sort of think of dreams in terms of being in a movie - for me, it's more like being in a radio show or an audiobook.

This has actually gotten worse as I've gotten older (I'm tempted to blame the Internet) - I have distinct memories of being able to dream in images when I was younger (or, at least, the rare occasional dream journal I had writing dreams down were always presented that way), but it's been years since I remember having a dream that wasn't almost entirely narrative in some way.

In terms of your example, I can sort of intellectualize what an apple looks like in my head, and I can rationalize how it would look if it were rotated around, but I can't really just close my eyes and SEE an apple.

This also makes me really, really shit at trying to describe things visually (I'd be terrible if a police sketch artist was asking me to describe a suspect). Though I'm conversely fine at pattern recognition - I easily recognize faces and images I've seen before if I see them again, I just can't really visualize them without outside input.

You joke, but that's always been an issue for me. I don't have a "spank bank" in my head I can sort of pull up whenever I want. I basically need to have porn on hand if I want to crank one out.

That's actually made worse by the fact that I've had a near-perfect memory for most of my life, because it meant that I can't really look at/watch the SAME porn every time. I grow desensitized to porn I've seen before unless it's phenomenal.
