Short YouTube interview clip (created/uploaded by Rick Torrison) where SPEAKER A asks what was learned from enduring long days. SPEAKER B reflects on humility, realizing life isn't fully under personal control, recognizing a relationship with something greater beyond religion/institutions, and the need to 'get off the throne'—i.e., surrender control and let go.
My question for you is this. What did you learn about yourself in the process of enduring those long days?
It was the humility of the realization that my life is not my own. And if I believe there's something greater and bigger that I'm living for, not religion, not institution, not the doing, not the discipline and all that, but a relationship that says there is something greater, and I am not the author and perfecter of that, and I have to release and let that go. And that was the revelation, was I need to get off the throne and quit trying to share it, hold it somehow, think I can control this and fix this. I can't.
