I don't have a focus/attention problem. None at all. I am better than others at maintaining focus and concentration.

I already meditate almost daily. I exercise every day and also walk ~4 miles each day.

I am sure you are well meaning, but I disagree with you on the motivational speeches part. I find those guys to be awfully filled with themselves, and annoying. They are in the sole business of selling motivation. If your life's biggest achievement is selling motivational speeches as events/books/courses, then I am going to pass. I found motivational speeches helpful when I was maybe 12.

Many people also suffer from survivorship bias and lack nuance and extremely hot-gas-full for my taste.

I am more motivated by people I know achieving highly, or true stories of people fighting adversity to make it big in life. E.g. the project head of India's moon lander mission supposedly didn't have electricity growing up (according to an HN comment a few days ago).
