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.

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.
