Does this paragraph make sense?
"Don't take yourself that serious. Life is a passage."
(And in this context, does 'passage' implies a temporary time?)

"Don't take yourself that seriously. Life is a passage."
We often say ‘Life is a journey’. I’ve never heard it called a passage.

does "passage" imply
No. For that, you need "the passage of time". "Passage" is a mass noun there and cannot take "a", and it does not work in your sentence. Your sentence reads like you're saying that life is a kind of hallway or channel, a remark that is not too outlandish but would need supporting. "Passage" can also mean "death", which cannot be what life is.
By the way, you need an adverb with "take yourself", "seriously".
Thanks again for your reply.
And would it make sense to say:
"... Life is a passover."
No. Passover is a Jewish holiday.
