Don’t let wishful thinking lead you to make a serious misstep on September 25th. Once you realize that your hopes are based on avoiding an uncomfortable situation rather than on pursuing a genuine vision of what you would like to see happen, then you will see for yourself what your next step should be. Compromise is not the answer, but there’s nothing saying that you have to be confrontational either. Speaking the truth right now won’t be pleasant, but people need to know what you truly feel about a pressing situation and, given a few days, they’ll even come around to your way of thinking.
