The Third Act ~ Jane Fonda ~ TED Talk
The Third Act…Jane Fonda is a powerful woman who has always had something to say. I am a HUGE fan of TED Talks. My Mom shared this with me, thanks Mom!
Older women are the largest demographic in the world who have the opportunity to pass down their wisdom to the younger generations!
Listen up…
I wanted to add a quote Jane Fonda read out from a book by author Viktor Frankl written in 1946, ‘Man’s Search for Meaning.’ Viktor was a Holocaust survivor which s a 1946 book by Viktor Frankl chronicling his experiences as a concentration camp inmate, describing his psychotherapeutic method of finding a reason to live.
“Everything in life can be taken from you except one thing…your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. This is what determines the quality of life we live not whether we’ve been rick or poor, famous or unknown, heathy or suffering. What determines our quality of life is how we relate to these realities, what kind of meaning we assign them, what kind of attitude we cling to about them, what state of mind we allow them to trigger. Perhaps the purpose of The Third Act is to go back and try to, if appropriate, to change our relationship to the past.” ~ Viktor Frankl.

Jane Fonda has never been a favorite of mine since she went to North Vietnam. But did enjoy her speech about the third act.

The Third Act sounds like it has every potential to be the most spiritual if alowed to be as such.
Powerful speach.
