Advise of Shaykh Abdullah al Harari:
Shaykh Abdullah said advising a group of students
"Your worst enemy is yourself" and this saying of the shaykh is indeed stated in a Hadith of prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam " أَعْدَى عَدُوَّكَ نَفْسُكَ الَّتِي بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْكَ "
Which literally means: Your worst enemy is yourself that's between your sides."

Many people have the habit of blaming others for their shortcoming, mistakes, and failure. Hence, learn to take responsibility for your mistakes and stop blaming others for your problems. Learn to be focused and have consistency and this will benefit your greatly religiously and worldly if you pay close attention to these words.
As for religion, religion is easy if you learn it properly. What is challenging is changing your bad habits that you have developed and practiced for years. Recognition of your mistakes and admitting your wrong doing is the first step. Learn to do what is beneficial and don't just fallow your desires. People often are inclined toward laziness and people who accomplish great achievements are focused and put a great deal of effort weather religiously or even those who accomplish thinks worldly.
Don't let your mind play games with you preventing your from reaching your goals. Its like what Ahmad al-Rifaa^iy may Allah be pleased with him said:
تلعب الآمال بالعقول , تلعب بالهمم كل يطير بجناح همته إلي أمله ومقصد قلبه فإذا بلغ غاية همته وقف فلم يجاوزها قال تعالي : (كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ) ( الإسراء 84 ) أي علي نيته وهمته

Which Means:
"Hopes plays with the mind, plays with one's ambition, everyone flies with the wings of his ambition to his heart's hope and aim. And once he reaches his ultimate ambition he stops and wouldn't cross it. Allah the exalted said (كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ)
Which means: {Everyone does according to his Shakilatihi} that is according to his intention and ambition....."(the rest continuation of his advice is deep and beyond my translation)

Finally I would like to remind you of the prophet's saying: من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه
Which means part of one being a good Muslim is for him to leave out that which doesn't concern him" And Allah knows best
