My favorite life quote is the following:
“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, love like
you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.”-William W. Purkey
I love this quote because it encourages us to embrace life with passion and joyful gratitude. Too many people seem to just exist, rather than enjoy the precious gift of life. It’s as if they are always cautiously preparing to live, rather than truly living with fun and enthusiasm. If you ask them why they aren’t happy, they might say, “I have to get through this thing first. As soon as I finish school, as soon as I get a promotion, etc, then I will be happy.” Instead, I want to joyfully seize the day and enjoy each precious moment I’ve been given.
Here are some more of my other favorite life quotes:

“For a long time it seemed to me that real life was about to begin, but there was always some obstacle in the way. Something had to be got through first, some unfinished business; time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”
-Alfred Souza
“May you live all the days of your life.”
-Jonathan Swift
