Compromise is pretty much exactly the thing you shouldn't do.

Is there something you really, really want to do that falls into this category?

Yeah. Lots of things. I'm a complicated person full of contradictions, foibles, and flaws. For every door I open, another one closes. There's no way to do everything I want. So I follow the path that I think will lead to greatest long-term happiness, even if, in the short-term, I have to make sacrifices.
