If you have realized firsthand that you are indeed "the thing-at-itself is ALL AND EVERYTHING, NOTHING AND EVERYTHING" then "who" is worried about notions like motives,etc..?
"I exist " is the feeling arising out of the fact that one is alive. One need not read or verify or quote from scriptures to know about it. That may be termed as "conviction".
On the other hand, to say that "one must have to make decisions in order to exist" is just fiction or non-fact, owing to the notional mind. The confusion arises therefore only if you take it for granted that "Mind" or its notions to be real.
Just being at the root of all existence would be like being at the single point at the depth of the ocean, where all the waves reaching the seashore originate as well as where all the receding waves converge, too,unseen!
Either you choose to sit the seashore and get involved with a few striking waves, unable to watch even the same waves receding or be at the center of it all.
Nothing need be done. It would be like a digital change of state in the stillness of which the observer,doer and the observed all disappear simultaneously and one's awareness would keep flowing with each and every wave, ever new, infinite and devoid of notions like directions,desires,will,decisions,etc...
