The motivation can come from within or from the outside. I think a good mentor could also help you. You could look for someone in this community that really motivates you. Or look up some books on lucid dreaming. I return here everytime I need to refuel my motivation because I find so many here so motivational towards this common goal. It does take time and if you cultivate this hobby you will see results. Just keep searching out that fuel for motivation. Your on the right track.
