To be motivated but not greedy
To treat your flesh as your temple, but not your true self confuses me a bit. I am not sure how to interpret that part.

Your body is the temple of the lord and while we are all inspired by motivational aspects, our motivation should never lead us into a path that results in us getting greedy or going out of the way to over achieve.

To be "only" human is as we are to be a dream within a dream is to ascend that

🦋Nice Poem. It explains how Grace is balanced and having to let some things go so you can be light and keep everything in the flow with the current.

It makes one examine who they are and who they wish to be; what they want their legacy to be.

I loved this! It captured the inner decision making we go through for every aspect of our life. We’re always worried about going too much the other way.

This poem is very encouraging,to choose to turn your life around before its too late and there is no life left to turn around.This teaches me to do what is expected of me so as to achieve My intended goals while there is still light.

Very thoughtful. I find myself re-reading it because it truly makes you think about the balance in your own life and how to manage it. This is a great representation of what everyone wants and what many people forget about. Great job.

I like the piece, yet some parts of it left me confused.
1. "To treat your flesh as your temple, but not your true self." I'm confused because in order to have inner peace, you have to have your mind right. Your mind "is" you, so why treat it differently?
2. "To do your best with the metaphorical cards you’re dealt, without trying to change the cards at all." This bothers me because in this world, people treat you according to your image, status, and reputation. To me this says, "stay in your lane." "Don't try to reach our status." Interesting.

Overall, this poem has a lot of good points, but not all points are for everyone.
