To elaborate further on what Brother Shuayb has mentioned, it all boils down to what company we keep and what environment we place ourselves in. The more friends we have who are observant and wary of the deen, the more we will be observant and wary of the deen. Even to some people who may see going to religious programs as a chore, having a good company of like-minded friends who also want to better themselves in their deen makes you crave for these programs and events.

Fluctuations in our imaan are normal but to have a consistently higher level of imaan requires us to be fair and moderate - to not just keep deen as a private affair, confined to listening to lectures and praying salah, but to also have friends who are willing to discuss it with you so that everyone benefits and that talking about the deen becomes part of your vernacular.
