Jane Fonda Talks About A Longevity Revolution
A friend sent me a link to a great video on TED in which Jane Fonda talks about the ‘longevity revolution’ and the fact that we are living longer than ever before – 30 years longer than our parents generation and she called the last three decades of life from age 50 upwards ‘the third act’
During the ‘third act’ Jane recommends we look at and ask ourselves “how do we live our time successfully?” and that we take a look at finish up the task of finishing yourself – doing a life review will give you new significance and meaning by working at changing your relationship to your past, redefining yourself and becoming whole.
I believe I began the business of finishing up myself when I was 30 and I have met other women who at the age of early to mid thirties begin to look at how their life can be different. By age 40 and definitely 50 (from what friends have told me) you begin to think about what you have accomplished in life and what there is to do next.
I really enjoyed listening to this video and I recommend you watch it here. Jane Fond’s : Life’s Third Act
It might give you the motivation you need to start looking at your life now, no matter what age you are because it is evident that even later in life if you can heal your past of negative experiences you get to live life from a place of peace and that is a wonderful place to be.
About Diane Corriette
I write on this self development blog about building self confidence, and living a life of full self expression where you are free to be you. Being able to be confident is not so much about how you think but what you feel. To successfully build self confidence you must use your thoughts to create an image of who you want to be, and your emotions to help you feel this amazing new you and then visualise & focus on it until it becomes your reality.

Great video. Sent it to my aunt who seems to have given up on life at the tender age of 59 – hopefully it will get her thinking about how much more life there is to live
