Stand on your principles and in your integrity. You serve in this way too, by generating truth. Maybe this is a push to go elsewhere in your career. In my opinion, martyrdom and sacrifice is not service.
You will set an example to others, as well, by not caving in to control. It will let others see an example of a person thinking for himself.
I have lost work because I wouldn't illustrate certain things (fishing with a hook for example in a children's book). I also took a stand at a certain point when I had become vegetarian. I was very successful at this, and lost 2 clients—big ones—because I told them I wasn't going to illustrate meat anymore. This however, opened the door for me to get into the publishing arena, and I started doing children's books.
