The root of the word motivation is motive.
What is your motive (your why) for pursuing these goals?
If you can't summon up a powerful enough why then maintaining the emotion of motivation you are seeking will be a struggle.
Assuming you have a strong enough why, the second aspect is belief/optimism. Do you really believe, deep down, that you will be able to achieve these goals? If you don't honestly believe you can do it, your body won't give you a chance to try.
If that is the case, you might need to start on some smaller goals. If the goals seem impossible and you can't visualize a path to them, they are pretty ineffective.
With a powerful enough motive and the belief you can carry it out, motivation will come.
