The gap between where you are and where you want to be is mostly just information you have not gotten yet.
That sounds simple but sit with it for a second. Most of the things people feel stuck on are not character flaws or permanent limitations. They are knowledge gaps. Skills that were never built. Frameworks that were never introduced. Ways of thinking about a problem that nobody ever showed them.
The explosion of online learning means that gap is now closable faster than ever before in history. The person you are trying to become probably requires you to know things you do not know yet and those things are more accessible right now than they have ever been.
The motivation question shifts entirely when you reframe it that way. It stops being about finding the drive to change and starts being about identifying what you need to learn next and going and getting it. Progress creates its own momentum. The first step is almost always just deciding to close a specific gap instead of staring at the distance.
Most people are not lacking motivation. They are lacking a clear enough picture of what they actually need to learn next to move forward. The self improvement industry sells inspiration because it is easier to package than direction.
Would most people make faster progress with less motivation content and more structured learning or is the inspiration piece genuinely necessary first?
