I guess it depends on what sacred means to you. i'm not a religious person, so my definition is entirely personal, but i consider honoring yourself even when it looks like a failure to others, or even when it doesnt give you money/power etc. to be a holy act.
I am reminded of the lesson "Some say he is a holy man. Others say he is a shithead.", from the Principia Discordia.
