Live a full live


Explanation:
The need/want three times 'leven'.
Therefore they spelled 'beleven' as 'be-leven' (they use a hyphen to indicate it is actually one word [beleven])

Beter leven

Be-leven --> Beleven (Als mens willen we leven, voelen, groeien en Zijn)

Bewust leven


If you want the same effect in the source, that is: live - live- live

Perhaps:

Beter leven - Live a better life

Be-leven - Live a full life

Bewust leven - Live a mindful life

Living life to fullest means continually reaching out for newer, richer, deeper, life-changing experiences.

Reference: Be-alive?

Reference information:
Maybe something like that, it seems you need to play with words.
Better live
Be alive
... and then you have to find a word that starts with a B for the last one!
