So what do you do when everything inside you is screaming “this is wrong” but you are forced into a situation at your job and there is nothing that you can do to change it? That is what I have been facing this week and struggling with my feelings of “why don’t you just quit” to “does this really matter in the long run?”

I would love to hear from people who have faced this same dilemna. In my job, I know I do a good job and as I have said, the only thing that I have is my reputation. So, what do you do when you are told to do something that could possibly ruin your reputation as a professional? I am not talking lying or defrauding the company, but in my business having a message and sticking to it is important.

I have been told that in six years, or even six months, that whatever is stressing you now will just be a memory and you might not even remember what it was that caused you to lose sleep or upset your ulcer. So why do we think that our mountains are so tall? Why are our valleys so low? Why can’t we all hold hands and sing “Kum ba yah?”
