I don't really understand this line of thinking, but maybe we have different definitions of motivation. If you are not using motivation to do things what is the reason you to do things?

For me anything I do is because I am motivated to do it.

Isn't it possible, even common, to seek an outcome, but not feel inclined to do the thing that takes you toward that outcome? I don't think there's anyone who doesn't want a fit body, yet to borrow a phrase, "nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights"
