Human motivations, in all likelihood. Just like a god's. Its clearly possible in concept for a perfect being to have motivations...having motivations is not remarkable. Perfection does not rule out motivation.
A perfect god having fallen human motivations, is an issue, though. Even if it's a real perfect god that really exists. Especially if it's a real god that really exists. Theres a superpowered human-alike pervert living in the sky.........
A motivation is a desire. The presence of a desire necessitates a lack. A lack requires incompleteness. A perfect Being would, by definition, be complete.
