Stop aspiring and start being. I was coding at 12.
I learned to code because I actually had things I wanted to do not because I thought the concept itself sounded cool.
Find projects you care about and/or specifically interest you. As in want to make better or change in some way. Immerse yourself. If you can't do either it's probably not what you're actually interested in and you should reassess your goals before locking yourself into a thankless uninteresting job you'll resent.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
