One's motives can be measured by the fruit that is produced.
James 3:14–18 (NKJV), "But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace."
Wisdom from above produces peace. Bitterness and envy is the product of earthly, sensual & demonic "wisdom". Seek the peace that comes from above.
Peace,
Stan
