Understanding the motives for others behaviors is a good skill to have. It is great to have a person who boosts you up and helps you out, as long as you understand what their motive is. I have a friend who just wants the world to be peaceful. That is all she wants in life and that is her motive for everything and everyone. She simply can not believe that the entire world does not feel that way. And knowing that is motivating factor is useful.
I have another friend who just wants to be noticed. She is willing to do anything or say anything just so she will be noticed. This is hard for some to understand and still if you understand her motive you can deal with.
I have an aquaintence and his motives are to gain power and control by putting others down. He delights in tell the world when he belives that some one is smarter than he, or better than he or if people admire someone ohter than he. Knowing this about him is helpful.
The best way to learn about someones’ motive is to quietly observe.

My only motive is to help others, not jus people but animals as well. If you can’t do good and say something good in life to others, what is the use!
I have learned from the rules of Godly living that true happiness is serving others without expecting a reward immediately.
That is a great lesson to learn. Well done.
Thank you Bee for your kind comments.
Yeah, I think so too, when you help others, you should never expect a reward, it makes life happier ☺. I usually try to understand people, why they do the things they do. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can’t. But it’s ok, we are all unique.
That is that we all one of a kind.
I try to help people in general, but helping the disabled is a passion of mine.
That’s why I have a degree in deaf education. They always teach me more than I could ever teach them.
