Rather than give up, I would say it's about finding the right balance and knowing who you are as a person. I've drastically reduced the time I spend watching tv and movies but I haven't cut it out completely. Success is also in your mind - if we keep moving the goalposts further away as you're approaching it, you may never feel fully satisfied. The best way I found to get me willingly motivated to shift the balance of things was taking time to reflect on myself and my life. After that, I never felt like I had given up on anything.
