How can I regain the will to live?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Surrender to the moment, for in the death of the ego, life finds its resurrection."

According to Osho, you don’t need to regain the will to live—it’s innate, proven by your very breathing. What’s needed is surrender: let the ego “die,” drop result-oriented striving, and dissolve into each moment as an end in itself. In that unmotivated trust, life renews itself—resurrection follows crucifixion naturally.
You already have the will to live; stop trying to force it—relax, let go of your ego and goals, enjoy this very moment, and your life energy will return by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts you from anxious striving to peaceful trust, reducing burnout and despair.
- Encourages presence; enjoying each moment restores natural vitality.
- Letting the ego soften improves relationships and openness to life.
