On top of being one of the greatest shows on television, Grey's Anatomy is chock-full of great advice and life lessons. Here are a few of the most important things Grey's has taught us throughout the years:

1. The truth will always come out eventually. It's important to know that the truth will always catch up to us. Although it can sometimes be difficult, honesty is always the best policy. The truth can hurt, but it will never hurt as much as betrayal.

2.Things must be given up in order to succeed. One of the hardest things about growing up can be prioritizing. Whether it be sleeping or socializing, it is inevitable that things must be cut out of your life in order to succeed. It isn't always easy, but it's worth it.

3.Fear is a good thing. Although it isn't pleasant, it reminds us that we have something to lose.

4. The future is unpredictable. It is important not to get too caught up in how we envision the future. It is borderline impossible to foresee what is to come, so taking life by stride and going with the flow of things will make adjusting to the changes that the future brings much easier.

5.Nobody is perfect. It is important that we don't judge others or ourselves too harshly. We all do and say things that we may not be proud of, but our actions do not define us.

6.Everything will work out the way it's supposed to in the end. Through times of hardship, it can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Things may not turn out at all like we expected them to, but everything happens for a reason.

7.Life is a journey, and everything can change in the blink of an eye. Although this may be scary, change is good. There are many ups and downs on this roller coaster called life, and consistency is one thing that people can count on. Although we can take comfort in having a familiar routine, good things can come with change, and we should welcome it with open arms.

8.Work hard, play hard. Although it is important to work hard, it is just as important to reward ourselves. A good balance of work and fun is important as we go through life.

9. Be honest about how you feel. If you love someone, tell them while you have the chance, because you never know what could happen.

10. Time heals all wounds. No matter how devastated you may be, just remember that after a while, you'll barely even remember why you were so upset in the first place. Heartbreak is not the end of the world, although it can seem like it is. Just give yourself the time you need, and everything will be okay.

11.Fight for what you want. You don't want to go through life wondering, “What if?". No matter how scared you might be, take chances and fight for what you want and deserve. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work out, but at least you know you tried.
