This, I guess, is drawing on Horace's Ode to Postumus:
"Sadly, the fleeting years slip away."

Eheu fugaces Postume, Postume, Labuntur anni,

vitae labilis (without est ) means 'slippery lives,' or 'stumbling lives.'
For 'Fleeting years' Horace chose Fugaces Anni.

'Life is Fleeting,' if you would like to follow Horace, would be Vita Fugax, or Fugax est Vita.

Fugax Fugax II. Trop. A. www.perseus.tufts is the reference.

The verb is unnecessary, so you could simply say:

Velox vita.
