INTERVIEW RIN HAMBURGH
Earlier in my career, I was involved in a creative singing project that started as a fun sideline and soon became successful. At the height of our success, the project fell apart due to circumstances beyond my control and I lost the position that I loved. At first, I was incredibly angry and hurt. I had put so much work into it. I felt humiliated and it was impossible to escape the embarrassment. I felt powerless.
That summer, I was at a Christian festival listening to a talk about the Good Samaritan. The speaker challenged us to think about who we were in the story and I immediately thought, ‘I’m the dying man at the side of the road.’ I realised how sad and rejected I felt. That’s when I knew I had to let it go and forgive the people involved for how things had turned out.
