Theres two -
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" - Dr. Seuss
And a recent one - "Your life starts where your comfort zone ends"
The second one makes me uncomfortable.
I know it's a joke and I appreciate the meaning of the original comment, but I don't think you need to constantly challenge yourself to enjoy life. Sometimes it's ok to sit back and enjoy what you have and what you know. Just as long as you don't settle and forget to be open to new things that could enrich that life.
About the second one, I'd rather follow Pascal who said something like:
"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."
Both fantastic.
