I don't think that's true. It is not as simple as doing or not doing stuff. When I don't feel like doing something it will not happen but when I am interested in something and like doing something I am motivated to do it and chances are it will happen.
Motivation may be an abstract concept but it really is something that can be there or not. And finding a way to motivate yourself for stuff you know you should do but really don't want to do for some reason or other is something I want to be able to do.

in the latter case you would need to ask yourself why you're making an excuse for yourself.

Interest and inspiration are helpful incentives, but they are not necessary.

Indeed, and there are many ways that can be gone about to align one's self with these winds so to speak.

*Just do it* is one popular method. For others who don't prefer such a radical technique, they may want to try to externalize their goals in the form of a drawing, or a short note for example, and then move themselves into the direction of these visions. Introspection is another state in which one can weed out any flawed presumptions and hindering beliefs that restrict intention moving into action..

Ah, there's so many possibilities, but without a CHOICE, you're simply going nowhere.
