Motivation is irrelevant. If you have a goal then you will need to buckle up and do it in spite of being unmotivated.

That is called dedication.

This is one of those quotes that tries to sound awesome, but sort of fails miserably at it.

There's plenty of peeps with goals to say go to a gym or learn shit. Not all of em are motivated enough to do it, obviously.

Lack of motivation isn't a bad thing, it just means you prioritise it lesser than the things you actually are motivated to do. You can't buckle up and do everything you want. Nobody's got the energy for that.
