How do you learn to accept the eight hours you need to work and still be motivated enough about it to come in early and do everything with a passion like most of my coworkers seemingly. I'm serious, I'm not just complaining

That's an easy one, friend. It's because there's no other reasonable choice. You don't have a choice. I mean you do, but it's the illusion of choice, like the choice to drive your car into the ocean.
If you don't handle your shit, you get owned. Your personal survival and ability to maintain your quality of life should be motivation enough. If you have everything handed to you, of course there's no motivation to do anything, but if you're a normal person, if you don't get motivated enough to work and take care of your home, then you're not even treading water. You sink and drown, to use a turn of phrase.

If your job sucks and you don't like it, you can't be motivated to go above and beyond, or look forward to work.
You need to start looking for new opportunities that excite you. It's a great feeling when you find a company you love, with bosses who are awesome, coworkers you want to be friends with, etc. That's what they mean when they say you get paid to do what you love.

Shit man, that's harsh. I'm not really disputing the fact I have to work. It just is really difficult to drum up enthusiasm to wake up so early and work for so long and you don't really enjoy it at all

That's actually a really good point. It not like I'll ever get my dream job as a certified pussy licker but I'm sure dealing with decent people who don't yell at you every time you slip up is helpful

Is it? I guess so. Well, I mean, we're not kids forever. At some point we leave the nest and join the competition with everyone else if we want to play the game.

You shouldn't.
Your work should support your life, not the other way around.
