McCraven.<br> Even though it’s written for grown-ups, Megan sees the ways that this little book could be an inspiring gift for teens, or be a great conversation starter at dinner.<br> Here are the “little things” that the author covers in his book, which Megan adapts for teens in this episode:<br> <br> * Start the day with a task completed.<br> * You can’t go it alone.<br> * Only the size of your heart matters<br> * Life’s not fair. Drive on.<br> * Failure can make you stronger.<br> * You must dare greatly.<br> * Stand up to bullies.<br> * Rise to the occasion.<br> * Give people hope.<br> * Never, ever quit.<br> <br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Bed-Little-Things/dp/1455570249">To check out the book yourself, you can find it here</a>.<br>
