What did the Buddha say about motivation?

**What did the Buddha say about wholesome types of motivation?** Is there a difference in the Pali language between "intention" (as in Right Intention) and "motivation"? From what I understand Right Intention is renunciation, good-will and harmlessness. I can understand how good-will and maybe renunciation can be a sort of motivation, but harmlessness seems to be more passive and therefore maybe not a motivation in the same way **Basically what I'm looking for are the things that motivate us (as in "drives us") to do things, which are considered wholesome in Buddhism** (Maybe there is also a connection to Right Effort here) Grateful for help with understanding this better!
