After talking to others I have come to realize that these are allvery common fears when it comes to giving up something thathas played a major role in your life. Whether it is a career, arelationship, or an addictive habit, quitting or giving up onsomething can be one of the most difficult decisions we arefaced with.

在和一些人交流之后我發現在決定放棄生活中某些重要東西的時候我們都有一些相同的恐懼。不管是職場上的還是一段感情或者一個很久的習慣，放棄某些都是我們所面對的一些最困難的決定。

What if I fail at this? What if it’s not the right decision? What if I regret it later?

要是我失敗了怎么辦?如果這不是一個正確的決定要怎么辦?要是我以后后悔了怎么辦?

Here are 10 things to consider when it may be time to quit somethingin your life.

當你決定放棄某些東西的時候，以下10件事是你應該考慮的：

5. Does this situation still make you happy right now? If not, can it?
