There's no app to replace discipline and skill

Assalamu alaikum. You know, I keep seeing these ads on YouTube for Grammarly that are like, writing is hard, but Grammarly can help. Yeah. Or you could just learn how to write. That's an option.

Get an education. Learn some skills. You know, I'm joking here, but this mentality runs throughout so many areas of our life where we think that something is supposed to help us do the things that are difficult instead of us just learning how to do them and doing the work required to improve our skills and our strength and our abilities and our capacities and our capabilities. We just want an app to do it for Brothers who say, how can I control my urge to watch porn? You just do it.

Maybe it's not easy, but you do what you have to do. It's like asking how can I fast in Ramadan? By not putting food into your face. That's how it works. That's how fasting works.

You don't put food into your face. How does not watching porn work? You don't turn it on. That's how it works. You're gonna want to.

You're gonna wanna eat in Ramadan, but you just don't do it. I mean, I'm sorry, but millennials, generation x's, whatever, you've been misled into thinking that there's an app for everything. There's not an app that can give you character. There's not an app that can give you strength. There's not an app that can give you willpower.

That's something you gotta do on your own. There's no way around it.
