I really like this sentence from the April speedlanging thread which was started by GoshDiggityDangit, but unfortunately I lack the motivation to do a speedlanging challenge right now. Therefore, and also because there haven't been many translation challenges recently, I have decided to extract the sentence into the translation board.
"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often."
"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often."
"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often."

Still gotta do non-habitual reflexives periphrastically, but this is nice to have. Also, first in-translation use of Zar̀í "to stand before you, here is, voilà", related to Zar̀à "to receive", ZAR̀3 "medial demonstrative", ZAR̀2 "casual/humble 1st person".)
