Most of the time we are our own worst enemy. If left undisciplined, our minds will operate at a genius level to attempt to justify our actions. This is why it is so important that we crucify our flesh. This is also a reason why it is so important that we have people in our lives that hold us accountable. We are told to bear one another's burdens. It is the enemy of our souls that would convince us that we need to bear everything by ourselves.
