4. What kind of motivation is indicated by each MO?

Necessity and desire are the clearest. Desire always pulls us toward the object of desire. Necessity apparently pushes us toward something, but more often it actually pushes us away from what will happen if we don't do it. Of course, much motivation includes both these aspects, but it is useful to separate them in order to think about them. The MOs that a client typically uses can alert us to what they are noticing and experiencing, and what they are deleting from their experience of being motivated.

Possibility and choice do not indicate any particular motivation. One can choose possible activities out of either desire or necessity (or both). On the other hand, if we had no needs or desires, possibility and choice would be totally irrelevant, so there is always some motivation presupposed or implied when we use words that refer to possibility and choice.
