I need more inspiration for learning Japanese
In my area, there aren't many Japanese people at all. I have no idea when i'll really need it. Travelling to Japan seems like a farfetched dream for me because of the travelling costs and how much it would cost to stay there...And I have a couple of goals in mind but they are also Hit/Miss goals that will probably end up in failure..I need something to keep me going, I keep losing my focus and find myself studying less and less. Can someone help? Or gibe me a little bit of advice?

Question

Answer

I agree with cats_go_nyan's suggestion about the anime. I have Crunchyroll bookmarked under "Fun": http://www.crunchyroll.com/videos/anime

One thing that really motivated me for awhile was studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test: http://www.jflalc.org/jlpt.html

The test is offered once or twice a year at certain cities in the U.S. Maybe you're close to one of them. You get a nice certificate for passing a level, and it's something unique you can add to your résumé when you go job hunting.

Answer

Try the tried and proven method of watching some anime (*≧∀≦)ﾉ I have yet to see it fail; they keep you interested and are rather decent material for training listening comprehension. Or if you're sick of anime, you could try reading light novels (the novels animes were based on, not the manga)
