When you tell someone to "jump into life" you're telling them not to waste time... to go into life with all the energy and spirit that they can. To make the most out of their life as they possible can. If someone could translate this (and possibly add some more meaning in Japanese) that would be great

Thanks!
Maybe explain it like this 充実した生活を送りましょう。Jyujitsu shita seikatsu wo okurimasho.
