Maybe a better phrasing would then be "Motivation does not precede action".
It seems perfectly reasonable to me that you can try something as a hobby, and if after honest effort, you're not interested in it and you'd rather do something else, by all means do so.
But you're not actually interested in doing something until after you do it. You might be daydreaming about the idea of having done something because you saw someone else do it on TV or whatever, but until you've done it -- and tried to love it -- you can't really say you're interested in it.
For two reasons:
1. You haven't tried it, so you don't know if you actually like it
2. By sheer definition, if you aren't willing to try something, you're not interested in doing it.
If you'd rather eat pre-processed or pre-packaged food and save your time for pursuing your true passion of playing Tiddywinks or developing Javascript user interfaces, by all means do so.
Just be sure to take care of your heath and make sure your true passion isn't sitting in the basement trolling people on the internet.
