complimentary motive

Opposite yet similar to ‘ulterior motives’, a complimentary motive is when the original plan is pursued on a parallel path that compliments an ulterior pursuit.

More simply put, an ulterior motive takes the place of the original plan, whereas a complimentary motive suggests an option to compliment the original plan.
Pascal and Tina want Sunday bloody’s, so Pascal suggested the complimentary motive to go to the horseshoe bar and grill for bloody Mary’s, as she knew her crush, who owns the bar, would be there.

Motive

Whether a motive is clear or unclear, cops know that somebody has to be motivated to have a motive, that's why they came up with a motive to call it. If it were lazy people doing the killing, it would be called something else, probably something like an unmotive. Possible unmotives might be the guy stole my doritos or smoked my last cigarette, and he knew deep down that he deserved it.
It wouldn't be a motive without the motivation to do it.

Motivation

The guy who ran from Disney Land to Disney World is a lot like Forrest Gump, except older and without the interesting life experience outside running.
This guy running across the country is a little too wholesome and inspiring for me. He's going to start motivating people, and with all the mass shootings that happened just today, look what happens when people get motivated and inspired. A little less motivation and inspiration would do people some good, not more.
