Btw. I have a feeling my motivation can't get high because after
1 year of course i would be demotivated.
Somehow, i think my subconscious seems demotivated to have lucid dreams

but with motivation or not, i never gave up or ever will!

Do you find the quest for lucid draming fun?
Make sure you feel that it's something you actually look forward to and feel excited about, not just as something you "must" achieve.
If you try too hard then you will be more focused on the frustration itself, and this makes it harder to focus on actual lucid dreaming.

Also, I recommend that you sit down right now and make a list of things you want to experience in your first lucid dream.
One very common mistake is to strive for "a lucid dream" - what's that?
A "lucid dream" is not a concrete event, it's just a term, so make sure you specify exactly what you want to dream about or imagine an actual scenario.
One relatively easy affirmation or "mantra" could be to imagine yourself jumping into the air and flying, and then you can imagine that scenario while you are falling asleep and repeat firmly to yourself "I jump, and fly away..." or something similar that feels concise and to the point.
I actually recommend "I jump, and fly away..." because I like the sound of that mantra, it has a pretty nice ring to it.

Of course, it might feel like repeating a mantra will "only" lead to dreaming about something without becoming lucid - but you could actually become lucid from the event itself, since you might recognize it and suddenly say to yourself "hey, this was my lucid dreaming goal!".
