Indeed. We need supernatural help but taking that out if we aim for something lower we will hit it. I think this is a key aspect in living the Christian life is realizing God's love is without condition but we do need to aspire to a higher goal and through that work we learn how much we need Him and the broader effect is that the world around us benefits. 

Jesus's teachings, especially like the Sermon on the Mount, are effectively the iron-man of spiritual workout. Almost impossible for us to achieve (at times).....

I've been meditating on these words from our savior since Easter. In these times I need to remind myself of this pretty much every day.
