[['''Worth Living For]]''' is when a character realizes he has something [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|worth]] ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|living]]'' [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|for]], be it a loved one, a new-found opportunity, or whatever have you. Will usually inspire new-found [[Determinator|determination]] that might verge on making them a [[One-Man Army]]. [[Hope Is Scary]] may hit first, but be overcome.
 
This trope can be the end of a [[Death Seeker]]'s search in the non-lethal fashion, or simply someone deciding that it's time to stop merely plodding through life and actually ''live''.

He immediately sits up, yanks his life support equipment off, announces that he has something to live for, and charges out of the hospital room.
