Chaotic motivation and lawful action are not mutually exclusive, in my experience. Lawful good is believing that there is a right code to live by - "the law" - be that an actual legal system, or a creed.
Chaotic good, on the other hand, is still good, but it's a very personal, sometimes selfish good. They do not have a book or spoken history to point to and say "this is what's right." But they know it when they see it.
That's how I've always explained it to people, after having it explained to me as that ๐คท
I think people are too strict on defining alignment. It makes things less fun. For example, I played a Paladin who had a personality that was somewhat selfish, but warshipped a lawful good god. This required his behavior to be lawful good even if it wasn't what he wanted to be doing. His personality was more true neutral or maybe neutral good. What's the alignment of the character?
.... That's either neutral or chaotic. Maybe even true neutral? They don't respect the law. They get something from the law. That is not lawful good, IMO
