Ah, so are you using "giving up" as letting go of the ego? I don't like the term "self-denial", but I think I get what you're getting at.
The thing is, I don't think we give up the ego once and for all, but only in moments, much like non-thinking during (eastern) meditation.
The thing I don't know is if you are using this as an excuse for not making steps today to improve your life today. If so, stop. 😁
BTW, does your name come from Discordia, or just coincidence?
