The other day Sean and I were talking about how differently people experience the world. He asked me how I think about a project that needs to be done. For him, he can actually picture it clearly in his mind first—and then bring that picture to life.
For me… it’s completely different.
I don’t really “see” projects in my mind. I feel them. Sometimes those feelings can make a task seem overwhelming before I even begin. Even my dreams usually aren’t visual—they’re more about the emotions of the moment than actual images.
But here’s the fascinating part: when I’m learning something new, I do need to see it. I need to watch someone do it and follow along step by step. So in some ways, I can see—it just works differently for me.
I’ll admit, I’ve sometimes felt a little envious watching artists create something they first “saw” in their imagination. That kind of mental clarity is amazing to me.
It really made me stop and think about how beautifully unique we all are in the way we process, learn, and experience the world.
How about you? When you think, dream, or create… do you see pictures in your mind, feel emotions, hear thoughts, or something completely different?
