Addition and Subtraction 

I heard this great quote during a podcast between Tim Ferris and Mr. Money Mustache (@mrmoneymustache) Pete Adeney. Essentially the quote is this: 

“If happiness is less about adding and more about subtracting, what would you add, what would you subtract in your life?”

I thought a lot about that while on the treadmill this morning. I’ve always been better at adding, terrible at subtracting. 

I’ll add Biblical community. I’ll subtract financial stress. I’ll add friends. I’ll subtract busyness.

How about you??

Do we even KNOW what makes us happy? Does that seem selfish to you? What if your own happiness actually spilled over into the lives of those around you?

Not so selfish after all…
