“We need a foil, an enemy, an external embodiment of the part of us that is limiting our growth on the path. With a raging saboteur in our lives, tromping all over our neediest, limiting parts, we can no longer deny our self-limiting tendencies. With an external force causing the pain, we eventually recognize the work we have to do, the work we have been avoiding. The work and effort and will to fend off the saboteur creates the inner resolve and capability needed to pursue our calling.”
–John P. Schuster, Answering Your Call, p. 73
