What happens when I feel stuck in life?

"When you drop the illusion of becoming and return to being, the anxiety of success or failure vanishes, allowing you to celebrate the richness of this moment."
According to Osho, feeling stuck comes from the false idea that life must go somewhere. Existence is now-here and purposeless yet intrinsically significant; you are already what you seek. Society's ambition and future-driven goals create egoic tension that breeds frustration. Drop becoming, return to being, and the anxiety of success or failure vanishes; then you can celebrate this moment. As the gap between present and future closes, the ego dissolves.
You feel stuck because you think you must get somewhere; when you stop chasing and just be here now, the stuck feeling fades.
