"Fruitlessness is rooted in self-reliance... you cannot go your own way and follow Jesus at the same time". Are you trying to live life your own way? Or are your eyes fixed on the one who can lead you to the abundantly fruitful life that God has for you? Hear of how you and everyone else is invited by the King to the greatest banquet ever , but how you won't stick around very long if you wear your own clothes instead of the King's.
