You're right, there actually is no complete fix.
It is called the Tawfiq of Allah Azza
wa Jal.
It's His Divine Grace.
And that is why you want to show
Him your brokenness.
That is why Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam said, رَبِّ
اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي Oh my Lord,
make me of those who establish prayer, me
and my children, and many from my children.
Because even Ibrahim Alayhi Salaam, with all his
sacrifices and accolades, will not even perform Salah.
Only Allah makes people perform Salah.
Only Allah empowers, inspires, strengthens people towards those
ranks of guidance.
And so the Dua is the most important
thing.
The Prophet ﷺ said, Oh Mu'adh, I
love you.
And so never falter in saying, never overlook
saying at the back end of every prayer,
اللهم اعني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك Oh
Allah, help me remember you, and thank you,
and worship you beautifully.
And so speaking to Allah Azza wa Jal
is a big part of that.
Secondly, Allah already answered that Dua for you
by giving you the guidance of the Qur
'an and Sunnah.
How much focus is there on the Qur
'an about the Qur'an?
That it is the rope that will save
you from drowning.
How much focus is there on the Qur
'an?
Very wide strokes here, very wide themes.
I'm not going to cite anything particular about
the importance of the right environment, atmosphere, friends.
And even, you know, they talk about atomic
habits or ways to break bad habits or
start good habits.
One of the good advices also, and this
fits perfectly in line with the Qur'an
saying, associate with people that are already doing
it.
It says find something stable in your life,
and then associate with it whatever you want
to stabilize.
So let's say I want to say my
Adhkar in the morning.
What do I do every morning?
What's the one thing that doesn't change?
I drive.
Okay, so I'm going to do my Adhkar
in the drive.
So it's of the ways to develop that
sense of accomplishment and get the wheels turning.
With one sense of accomplishment, you find the
confidence or the encouragement, the incentive to acquire
another, and so on and so forth, and
Allah Azzawajal knows best.
