Here are some things that I have noticed, tested and use to understand better. Many if not all will be already familiar.
The human central nervous system "good" is a dopamine reward and "bad" is the relative lack of dopamine reward.
If you are determined to have an addiction then become addicted to success and make those successes from good actions.
Using love to navigate life is far more successful than using hate. The same applies to good and bad.
We find what we look for;
We track towards what we look at ahead of us;
It pays to be aware of the best path to avoid problems or resistance.
That which is better coordinated has better potential. Those who are better organised can get more done.
Guidance and support is preferable over punishment. Punishments don't inform what to do.
The happiest times in my life have always been delivered with love.
