I dunno man. If you're racing for glory, I think you'll find that winning at your local series every now and then doesn't really bring it. If you're racing to race bikes, well, then you are in for a treat whether you are winning or not.
Motivation is complicated. Some people are motivated by progress. Some need to win. Others are motivated by a fear of losing. If you really want to enjoy this hobby and you're finding it difficult, I'd suggest talking to a sports psychologist and/or maybe picking up a book like [The Brave Athlete](https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Athlete-Calm-Down-Occasion/dp/1937715736/ref=pd_cp_14_2). I ride with a lot of people who simply don't train enough to win, but they love racing. Maybe if they can find joy in racing and competing, you can too. :)
I had great experience with the book The Brave Athlete which lays out 12 common mental barriers endurance athletes face and common, researched backed, solutions to those barriers. It's an entertaining and good read if you want to see if formal sports psychology is right for you!
If all this advice doesn't work, try reading this:
