There are many personal development materials out there that can give you useful advice, but none of them can make this reality go away. The sooner a person accepts this truth about life the sooner s/he can stop pursuing the next hot system that holds the promise of being the "spoon full of sugar that helps the medicine go down", the magic trick to make something difficult feel appealing. Sooner or later, everybody comes back to the point of having to do something when they don't feel like doing it.
I'd have to disagree here, and say that the statement itself is inherently false because once you make the difficult thing appealing, don't you want to do it?

If not, did you really make it appealing?
