So because you have always been motivated, everyone else should be?
Maybe the rest of us aren't as good as you and need some help sometimes?
People that come here to feed their egos crack me up. Go figure.

What you need is to work wise. Think twice before you work.

I totally agree with everything this man says. I play the guitar, not too bad either, but I used to practice constantly 8 or 10 hours a day for years. I played when I had no skin left on the ends of my fingers. I played one gig where the blood was literally running down my arm and dripping off my elbow onto the floor and the guitar.
I teach students now who come back a week later and haven't even picked the damn thing up since the week before. It makes me so mad. Most people don't have the commitment to succeed, they think they can do a few posts or set up a couple of websites and one day they will wake up to find millions in there bank accounts.
I love this video it is so real. If you want to be succesful you have to put in the work. Success will come after the pain and effort but if you commit yourself whole heartedly it will come, it is inevitable.
What happened to your guitar playing?
I used to take guitar when I was like 14. I didn't like it. My mom made me take it. I really didn't listen to music back then, so it was hard to enjoy it. My teacher asked me to pick a song I like and he could teach it to me. Well I didn't like anything. Looking back now, of course I wish I stuck with it and wish I could play now.
But anyways, in regards to your teaching. I hated it, didn't want to play it, but a) my mom made me practice every day, and b) I felt I needed to perfect what I was practicing for the next lesson. It was one on one teaching, but my instructor said I was furthest along than the rest. So for the most part, you have all these other students who are taking lessons because they want to, they want to play guitar, and enjoy music, but aren't even taking the time to practice in between lessons.
Just a little story you just reminded me of lol.
