Memorable Graduation Advice From the Stars17 of 38
Jessica Lange to Sarah Lawrence College's Class of 2008:
"So, I encourage you: Don't keep anticipating that your life is up ahead of you. Don't always be waiting for the next thing. Don't put all your energies into some idea of the future. And with that in mind, you open the door to endless possibilities. Just allow life to take you on an adventure. Be receptive to the winds of change.
Sometimes, you just have to let life take you on its glorious journey. And the best time to do it is now -- when you're young and full of curiosity and have no fear. Don't constrain yourself with expectations of success. Success will be a byproduct of the life you lead. All success is individual and sometimes, as in my case, completely accidental."
