"To be motivated, but not greedy" got me thinking at the moment but than I was like can it be "To be motivated, but not disheartened" but the rest it's nice and teaches moral lessons.

I really enjoyed this.

It highlights the complexities of societal expectations so concisely.

Frankly, if the good in this comes down to one person will either be a God or just a man. The poem is interesting...

A quick reminder to live our life to the fullest without crossing the line. Sometimes, fate does not determine our life, we ourselves wreck it. Knowing where to stop and when to stop can create a big difference. In fact, this poem finds ourselves learning to be more mellow

It's about embracing contradictions and finding a middle ground between opposing qualities.
Cultivate confidence without arrogance
Embody bravery with a touch of fear
Find inspiration without restlessness

it's a call to live a thoughtful, intentional, and authentic life, embracing both strength and vulnerability.

A poem about Aristotle’s Golden Mean. Maintaining balance in a world with its wide array of forces always pushing a person to one extreme or the other. A good illustration of the idea.

I especially like the last line. Taking changes before it too late is great.

Very inspiring. "To treat your flesh as your temple, but not your true self." We must try

The poem is actually telling the life story of almost every individual person as all the lines makes sense to me ...when poet wrote about to be brave but not fearless, to be tough but not painless (as a human we need to be sensitive to feel sympathy or empathy among others),to be motivated but not greedy ,to have fun without addiction and attachment ,to appreciate and love without jealousy, to be kind but not dishonest..etc.,all the above lines shows what's simplicity with a touch of sophistication.hence i really like the poem.

This is the perfect piece to give to someone who needs balance in their lives, it shows you an idealistic way to live your life. Not too much and not too little should be given in order to be happy.
