Here are a couple of passages that call us to adopt an overall motive for everything we do.
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NET) “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
Colossians 3:17 (NET) “And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
The name of the Lord in Scripture refers to his self-revelation. So to say and do things "in the name of the Lord Jesus" is to act in harmony with Christ’s self-revelation. Doing “everything for the glory of God” I suggest carries essentially the same idea. We must do whatever we do in a way that reflects what he has shown us of himself.
And since God is pure love, that is, pure helpfulness, then what could better serve to do that then to have a singular, dominant motive of helpfulness behind our every contact with others? It could sound something like this:
“I have one purpose and one purpose only for being in your life: I am here to work with Jesus in whatever he may have me think, pray, do, or say in helping you become more of what God wants you to be.”
And, behind everything we do:
“Whatever I do, I do in the interests of being more helpful to others, that is, more sensitive and responsive to Jesus’ guidance in working with him to help others.”
It seems to me that both of these statements equate to doing everything “for the glory of God”, or “in the name” of Jesus.
