You just gotta find something you love. If you're passionate about what you're studying, you'll look forward to doing it.
Internal motivation basically = being passionate about something.
Everyone's passionate about something.

One other big thing is making it a schedule. I used to hate working out and cut corners sometimes. But then I decided to go everyday for 1 week, then 2 weeks and checked that day off on the calendar. Looking at all checkmarks made me slightly uncomfortable when I felt like not going one day. Now it just doesn't feel like work waking up at 5am to work out. Its just become a habit. I've kind of removed the emotion of passion or excitement and do it because I have to do it. As dull as it sounds, looking occasionally in the mirror makes me happy to see what I've achieved, but I never think about that when I have to wake up.
I doubt that's the case. For one, there's plenty of people who are excellent at their jobs, but who dislike them. Also, there's plenty of people who are passionate about things that they are terrible at.
