Just remember your past success (even if it was small) and you will get some encouragement. For longer term, you need to have a purpose first.

Thank you @krishnaverma.
Yes, I had a really small success with Amazon affiliate website last month.
My goal is to live alone by the age of 19, and right now, I’m 17. For this, I will need to earn at least $600 per month.
It isn’t my biggest passion in life, but I don’t mind doing it.
No, I like it, but I don’t know why I’m getting bored while I do it.
Can’t do it right now because I’m going to a high school.
Also, in my country, I would get maximum of $1.5/hour which is pretty bad.

This is real life Wasd, and you are young. You will realize that planning helps you achieve your goals, but not necessarily in your timeline. There are things that you cannot plan, and affects your world, and will delay or directly destroy a project.
The reason TOP people is TOP is because they have failed several times, learning to optimize their process every time.
Don't let your objectives put you down, change the angle, and what @MisterF said,
Good luck

To get motivated, sometimes you need to get away from your computer.
Every day, Eat well, exercise, listen to inspiring podcasts by people like Timothy Ferris, read books about business and how to succeed. Watch inspiring movies, connect with friends and family (unless they are toxic towards your goals).
If you are finding it really hard to get motivated, you can even read books about how to get motivated!
To really get motivated you need to be hungry, and stay hungry, remind yourself why you have set these goals for yourself int he first place, every single day.

Go out for 1 hour, walk around (or drive depending where you are); pay attention to homeless people/beggars and gorgeous girls.
Then come back home and remember the dirtiest beggar you saw, and the most beautiful girl you saw and ask yourself which man you want to be:
- the homeless guy
- the guy who gets the girl
Then after you know the answer, go back to work.

Go get hired to do hard manual labor. You'll get all the motivation in the world after the second day.
I struggled with this a lot. People think of motivation as some all-consuming driving force like something you might see out of a comic book where a character is just always working towards a goal.
The reality is that motivation is less a burning driving force and more routine and learning to work against your own brain. Your brain doesn't like to stay focused, it will always be your worst enemy. "Fiery" motivation comes and goes--most of us only really experience that at the beginning of a project. It's like, for a heartbeat, we're in "love" basically. But that fades. What then? For me, I have a clear exercise routine each day to work out excess energy so I don't feel the need to wander from my PC. I also use the pomodoro technique to do working "sprints" before I take a break. These two things have really, really improved my ability to focus on my projects and get shit done.
Also, lastly, stop thinking of them as projects and start thinking of them as your job. It doesn't matter if you want to do it or not. Suck it up and make it happen.
