Since 2005 the cast of Greys Anatomy has made us laugh, cry, and even taught us some life lessons. The shows title character Dr. Meredith Grey has been at the forefront of those life lessons. Over the years her storyline has subtly taught us things about love, triumph, and loss. Here are a few life lessons weve learned from Dr. Meredith Grey, along with a few quotes from her to sum it up.

1. Dont apologize to others if they cant accept how you cope

Quote: I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke.

Plain and simple, when someone does you wrong or breaks your heart its not their place to judge and critique how you repair yourself. Its crazy how often we care about how the person that has done us wrong judges our coping mechanisms.

2. Dont be afraid to make mistakes, just make sure you learn from them.

Quote: We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep todays possibility under tomorrows rug until we cant anymore.

In life, you cant fear making a mistake, or youll never get a chance to live and grow. The path to a better you will ultimately be paved with many mistakes.

3. Dont be afraid to push the envelope to get what you want

Quote: At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries dont keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. Thats how were made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.

I agree 100%. Sometimes the only way to move forward is to move past self-imposed boundaries. In fact, most boundaries and limitations only exist in our minds.

4. Not trying is the biggest mistake you could ever make.

Quote: Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.

When its all said and done who wants to look back at life with a bunch of should ofs, would ofs, and could ofs? Definitely not me.

5. Never give up

Quote: If theres just one piece of advice I can give you, its thiswhen theres something you really want, fight for it, dont give up no matter how hopeless it seems.

Perseverance has been attributed as a key to success from such notable names as Oprah, Steve Jobs, and Warren Buffet. When trying to achieve a goal you will face setbacks, disappointments, and unforeseen obstacles. If the goal is worth achieving you should never give up. Indeed, this is a timeless life lesson.
