Lack of Motivation - Any Suggestions?

Thank you all for your advice, it's very helpful. And to Anjim, finding collabs in my area is problematic to say the least. A lot of the old people I used to collab with have moved on from YouTube to persue other things, the ones that have stuck aren't available regularly either unfortunately. As far as I know, there aren't many other people around here that do YouTube. It would be nice though to find other people around that could collab as I just generally enjoy making videos with other people
 
The funny thing is, I've never heard of surgeons, accountants, cops, pilots, secretaries, engineers, having lack of motivation. You have a job, you clock in, do it the best you can, then go home.
However, Youtubers, artists, self published authors (especially on Kindle direct publishing), often complain about writer's block, artists block, lack of motivation, lack of inspiration.
The bottom line is, if this is your job, every day you clock in and do the work. Motivation is the work itself. It's your chosen endeavor. You do it.
If it's a hobby, and you don't like it anymore, then stop.
For me personally, motivation is the monthly rental bill and utility bills, a ballooning visa card statement, and bloody overpriced supermarket food. The alternative is a homeless shelter. f**k motivation, just do the job.
