You have shared some great points here. I think too many people believe motivation is some form of a gift which may or may not come to them depending on the winds and the gods and the barometric pressure... this is entirely wrong. If you are naturally, self-sufficiently inspired and passionate about what you do, you won't even think about times of motivation or not motivated. If something truly requires motivation which you do not feel in control about, you likely have the wrong mentality/attitude and/or are doing the wrong thing.
