I have been coding for a long, long time. Since the 80s. But I got started with the idea that I wanted to 'build' something...I think it was a randomized dice roll or something. Having something you are trying to actually 'make' will cause you to learn what you don't know, and keep going.

It's no different than saying 'I want to build a tree house'. as opposed to 'I'd like to learn how to do construction' or 'I'd like to understand how to build with lumber'. The first statement will drive you to figure out or learn what it takes to make something tangible, the second two statements are just nice ideas, easily discarded when things get difficult.
