Another way to look at motivation is the thoughts of John C Maxwell:
Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever.
Do it without motivation. And then, guess what?
After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it."
Mr. Maxwell's theory is that once you start just doing it the motivation will come, your why will be clear and you will actually motivate yourself as you see results from the action you are taking!
Whichever way works for you then go for it. Set your goals, make your dreams a reality.
More quotes on motivation:
"Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way."
Les Brown
"Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly."
Stephen R. Covey
"At school, new ideas are thrust at you every day. Out in the world, you'll have to find the inner motivation to search for new ideas on your own."
Bill Watterson
"The only lifelong, reliable motivations are those that come from within, and one of the strongest of those is the joy and pride that grow from knowing that you've just done something as well as you can do it."
Lloyd Dobens
"Every human action, whether it has become positive or negative, must depend on motivation."
Tenzin Gyatso
"In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it."
Jane Smiley
