so, as a college student trying his level best to concentrate on his studies this question comes to mind very often. i don’t know why i don’t feel like getting out of bed and listen to the lecture and put into practice.. 
Re: What motivates or motivated you?
Write down your goals. Break them down to financial goals, health goals, family goals, spiritual goals, etc.
Then figure out how you can achieve them.
You'll realize that a goal can become a good enough reason to motivate you to get out of bed!

Re: What motivates or motivated you?
see somebody who is working a very hard day as a semi skilled worker vs. someone who is making a difference in the lives of many, because she/he got a good education.
that should get you on your feet and into classrooms early mornings, even, fast. & then do your best in studies!
best,
