PhD programs to accept me?

You may even have entrance exam scores depending on your field.  You master's performance will be a greater piece of the puzzle than your bachelor's is for a master's.  

A master's is still being a student of the field.  You're a learner in the process.  The distinction is that when you are a doctoral candidate, is that you're adding to the body of knowledge and advancing the body of knowledge within the field.  Yes, you'll have to be motivated, but you'll also have to have something to contribute.
You make a lot of great points here. The maturation process from working on a bachelors degree to completing a masters degree really brings things to the light. I would imagine, there are plenty of students who after there masters have zero interest in the workload required for a doctorate & others who can't stop thinking about tackling that same workload.

The NA masters will make it a little tougher but if the fire is still high, you will put in the work to find the right school for a doctorate.
