Let me give you an advice, it probably sounds too boring but really the fun things don't come without some pain. If you want to make video game, you can set that as a goal but know the road to it will not be easy. In fact, nothing worth your while will be easy. Say you think building video game is going to be fun, go on a video game dev forum to ask for suggestion on where to start. There will be a lot of advices online and from people, you just need to pick one that you think you can achieve to start with. Not one that you think is the most fun. Pick one you think you can finish. If nothing sounds right, try a different subject than video game making, but do the same thing: ask / find advices and pick one that you can finish.

Finish the first step. Finishing things itself is fun and is how you discover what really gets you going.
