Inspiration or motivation?

I find a lot of things inspirational (what a great song! maybe someday I could write just a *good* song?) but can never find the motivation (that's a lot of work, and a lot of skills to gain, for no money, and nobody will give a shit, so why bother).

That right there is just plain wrong, and you know it. You will give a shit. And your friends will give a shit (if you let them).
Whether that's motivation enough or not, I cannot say ...

The motivation is avoiding the tearing your hair out while wailing why didn't I do it sooner.
