I like what’s said about life on a card from a Japanese Buddhist temple:

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is a struggle, overcome it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is life, fight for it.
