“Happiness is not very much affected by adding positives to your life, it’s mostly accomplished by removing things that are strong negatives”

The infamous acronym we all remember learning in our adolescence has placed a false narrative in our minds.

Parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, and finally subtract.

Want to eat better?

Take away soda and sweets before you add anything green.

Want to change your inner circle?

Refrain from hanging out with losers.

Subtract, then add.
