I know the lines I will not cross now, and I have said no out loud to a paycheck that would have crossed one. When a project comes my way, I hold it up against what I stand for before I say yes. It has cost me some things, but I sleep fine, and I choose my work instead of letting it choose me.
More people experience this than they realize.
You align your work with your values, drawing lines you will not cross and choosing accordingly.
