There’s nothing like hearing McDreamy say, “It’s a great day to save lives, people.” That’s not the only advice Grey’s gives us:
“There is always a way when things look like there’s no way. There’s a way to do the impossible, to survive the insurvivable. There’s always a way.”
“We’re all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what’s coming. It’s pointless in the end because all the worrying and the making plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure to paranoia is to be here, just as you are.”
“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.”
“If there’s something you don’t like about yourself, stop comparing yourself to others and focus on you. Be the best you.”
“Failure is inevitable, unavoidable, but failure should never get the last word. You have to hold on to what you want. You have to not take no for an answer and take what’s coming to you. Never give in, never give up. Stand up. Stand up and take it.”
“When the ground gives way and your world collapses, maybe you just need to have faith and trust you can survive this. Maybe you just need to hold on tight and no matter what, don’t let go.”
“Just put one foot in front of the other. Just get through the day.”
“Chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don’t lick your wounds: celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You’re in a lion fight. Just because you didn’t win doesn’t mean you don’t know how to roar.”
“We’ll try again and we’ll fail again because that’s what progress looks like. Progress looks like a bunch of failures. And you’re going to have feelings about that because it’s sad, but you cannot fall apart.”
“Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature.”
