A psychologist (speaker) explains their personal purpose: to reduce obstacles that waste human potential so people can fulfill greater purpose. The speaker identifies common, solvable barriers—"white noise," fear, conflict, and lack of trust—that obstruct potential and finds it deflating when extraordinary potential is lost to these factors.
So purpose. When you think of purpose, you know, what is that for you? Personally? Mine, one of the things that I find difficult to sit with is our potential being obstructed by white noise. And that sounds a little fluffy and a little distant, but as a psychologist who works in my field and has for so many years, I find it so deflating, seeing extraordinary human potential being wasted by the wayside by fear that can easily be resolved by conflict and lack of trust, by things that are just such common denominators in our environment and thereby so easily solvable. So. So that's my purpose. My purpose is I want to see us be more of our potential. I want us to see us fulfilling greater purpose than we thought is possible for us.
