I want to share another tasty Fall treat from our Team Beachbody blog recipes! It's that time of year where everyone loves going apple picking. Do you often wonder what to do with all those apples? We all know we can make applesauce or apple crisp, but it's always great to have something that you can grab and go. These baked apple slices are a great alternative for potato chips, and they're healthy! They’re easy
to make and don’t have any added sugar or preservatives. They're also great to add to that snack basket or snack drawer that I shared with you the other day :)

We all often wonder why we're here. What's our purpose on this planet? What am I meant to do with my life? It's a thought that plagues so many of us...but how do we figure that out? How do we know that where we're headed and what we're working so hard for is really what we're meant to do?
Well I've been reading a book to help me find out just that. To learn more about myself and find that deeper meaning of what my purpose is in life. What am I meant to do here on this planet? What am I meant to be? What's my purpose? "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren in just the first 3 days has already changed my way of thinking and outlook on my life. It's made me see things in a new light. I've decided that as I embark on this new journey into a deeper understanding of myself and my life's purpose over the next 40 days I'll share with you my thoughts and maybe in some way it can help change your life and way of thinking. Maybe you can find that deeper meaning and true purpose in your life.
So far I've read the first three days. When reading I've underlined passages, starred parts of the text, and jotted notes on the pages. The words in this book are truly powerful and really dig to your soul. The first three words on Day one state "It's not about you.". That hit me hard. In our life we so often think of "what am I going to do with my life?"..."What am I going to be as a career woman."...or "What am I going to do to be successful?" However, we need to stop and think...it's not about me. Life is so much more than that. Life is about helping and serving others. Using our God given gifts and giving them to the world. We need to remember that yes we can work hard, we can put in hours to grow and be successful, but we can still feel empty inside. As Rick Warren states in his book "The most common myth about money (and success) is that having more will make me more secure. It won't. Wealth can be lost instantly through a variety of uncontrollable factors." Until people realize this, you won't feel completely whole. Success and money doesn't bring happiness. It's your relationship with family, friends, and God that make you truly happy. You have to work on happiness form the inside, before you can be truly happy in life.
We were all put here on this earth for a reason. We all have a purpose that drives our life. It's just finding that purpose and bringing it to fruition. No on is here by mistake. "It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck,, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment." So keep that in mind as you move forward each day and live your best day and best life. You are here today, waking up, and seeing the sun because you have a purpose. Start today by deciding that you will do good for someone else. Think today about what can you do that will make God smile and make him proud. Many people don't through life and think that they don't need to grow spiritually. For me I have my Faith in our Heavenly Father, however some people believe differently. That's okay. You just have to BELIEVE in something, whatever that might be.
I look forward to sharing with you more about this book, and how I'm finding it helps me grow. I hope that maybe a little something will help you too.
Much Love,
Chrissy
