Giving up is not the answer. Neither is giving in. Stand your ground. There is a way of doing that without having to be combative.

Simply and quietly claiming your right to be You is the way.

If something is important enough to you that you feel the urge to donate your money or time to it, I think it's best to try to express that form of giving through your career, not just as something you do on the side.

Make sure that you let God's grace work in your souls by accepting whatever He gives you, and giving Him whatever He takes from you. True holiness consists in doing God's work with a smile.
