Stay true to yourself.

So much unhappiness stems from making decisions that go against what you know to be right. Deep down, you don't want to do it--but you do it anyway. You listen to your head. You try to convince yourself the raise is worth it, or the risk is too great, or it's better to just stay put, to keep your head down.

Staying true to yourself is a challenge, yes. But effectively suppressing your true self is even more challenging.
