How do I stop compromise from wearing down my vision?

You collaborate across disciplines now, but the endless compromise on your vision wears you thin. That erosion is real. When every idea gets sanded down by other hands, it is easy to feel that nothing you make is truly yours anymore. The tiredness is honest. Not every compromise costs the same. Some trim the edges and leave the heart of your vision intact; others cut into the thing that made it worth doing. The wear comes from treating them all as equal losses. When you know which part is the heart, you can give ground on the rest without feeling robbed. Name the one thing in your vision you will fight for, and let the smaller points go more freely. Spend your energy defending the core, not every detail. Collaboration will always cost something, but it does not have to cost the soul of the work if you decide in advance what that soul is.
