is it the same if i say "live for moments, not things" in comparison to "live for moments, not FOR things" ?

Neither is natural. The fixed phrase is 'live for the moment ' — and 'things' is rather vague, don't you think? I'm not sure that 'moment' and 'thing' are mutually exclusive in any case.

'For' is irrelevant to the problems your sentences have.
