IMHO, motivation usually moves away from or towards. Many say we move towards pleasure and away from pain, but I have seen far to many who perhaps have that confused a bit. The move away from is often fear based and negative. The move towards is more love based and positive. A good propulsion system pushes you from behind while pulling you forward. Often the circular path of extending ki is a good example of that. Just a thought.
