Jessica Lange's Commencement Speech, SLC 2008

[@shorthannah8240]

This has to be one of the most inspiring speeches I have ever heard.

[@lanabotwin162]

I love this woman so much.

[@krystaloybejarano1439]

She's so wise and amazing i love her

[@nadinebentel2362]

She is not only the best actress ever, but probably the most intelligent. I imagine having speak her at my graduation and I would walk away feeling I had the world at my feet. She has such a social conscious and instills the notion that anything is possible if you really want it.

One of the greatest commencement speeches ever !!

[@nadinebentel2362]

She is so beautiful without makeup - a true natural beauty.

“Because ultimately…your life is made up of moments…. So don’t miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future. Don’t be absent from your own life.” So much said in so little amount of words. What an inspiration she is 🇺🇸🤙🏻♥️

Ms. Jessica Lange is an angel !! This is one of the best, most amazing and smartest speeches I have ever listened to.

[@nadinebentel2362]

Wow - she is amazing. I have no words but my ears are blessed by what they hear her say.

[@nadinebentel2362]

She is bringing me close to tears with her wisdom and I wonder if I had had the privilege of hearing her speak when I was so much younger, whether I would have had the courage to follow my heart instead of living a life not chosen by me. I wish she could write an Autobiography !

[@nadinebentel2362]

SHE SPEAKS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING PRESENT & OPEN TO THE MOMENT THAT IS UNFOLDING BEFORE YOU - WHEN SHE WAS SO MUCH YOUNGER, SHE WAS EXACTLY THIS AND SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT PRESENTED THEMSELVES TO HER, EVEN IF NOT WITHIN HER PLANS.

[@nadinebentel2362]

MS. LANGE WAS BLESSED WITH AN INNATE SENSE OF SELF, EVEN THOUGH SHE MAY NOT HAVE FELT THIS AS A VERY YOUNG CHILD. IT HAS SERVED HER SO WELL HER ENTIRE LIFE.

Inspiring, intelligent, entertaining wth a sense of humour and I ain’t sayin that just cos I’m a huge fan!

[@sweetjane5033]

A Magnificent speech!!!❤❤❤

[@Nessie2410]

Brilliant speech! Love her so much!

[@alicealleyne]

A very inspirational speech from a very beautiful soul ❤️

[@husseinm.4723]

Brilliant speech.

[@alwaysonyourside125]

I reckon her theme was 'life' ... tho she says didn't think of theme but her words exemplify the 'life' itself.

[@nadinebentel2362]

HER VIRTUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT SHE WAS NEVER AFRAID OF THE UNKNOWN AS MOST OF US ARE.

[@ros-n2x]

[@nadinebentel2362]

A WISE MAN SPOKE OF THE BENEFITS OF DOING EXACTLY NOTHING - ACTUALLY, YOU ARE DOING SO MUCH BY BEING STILL.
