Motivation is hard to muster when there is no passion to ignite it.
I see this a lot with students in school. I don't know if I have any words of wisdom for you, except to say I sympathize with your dilemma.
If I were in your situation I would probably start practicing self hypnosis to increase concentration and motivation. This involves sitting or lying in a comfortable chair/bed, and drifting into the state between sleeping and waking and then repeating an affirmation, in present tense, of what you want to accomplish. In this twilight state between sleeping and waking, your critical conscious mind is more pacified, and your subconscious mind is more open to suggestion. Then repeat your desired programming, such as, for example, "I am strongly motivated to study [insert area of study]." Then repeat it over and over, and then bring yourself out of it.
It would probably take a couple of weeks of daily practice for the unconscious patterns to fully transform.
