I have motivation to go to the gym every day but i just feel like im not pushing my self enough.

I think i may need a workout partner or something
In that case, i don't think it would be a bad idea. It's good to have structure, someone correcting form, pushing, going over your diet and tailoring your training to your goals. Always try to turn it into a learning experience and try to find someone who is qualified and that has some knowledge to pass on.

If it was a chain gym, i would say "absolutely not" - they are all fucking scumbags of the highest order.

When it comes to partners, that's the worst idea of all in my opinion. It almost never works that 2 people come together religiously and stay on point. Someone is always late, has to skip a day etc. I learned long ago to NEVER tie my success to the behavior of someone else because it will lead to distraction, inconsistency and ultimately, failure.

If you want results, pay for someone who is worth it, to stand there and push you hard and hopefully teach as they go, or learn to push yourself hard.
