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
Let the person read this:

傍観者として人生を外側からとのぞくのではなく、人生 の中に飛び込んでいって一瞬一瞬を積極的に生きてほし いという意味の表現です。
