Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?
According to Charles Swindoll, a thermometer merely registers what is around them. If the situation is tight and pressurized, they register tension and irritability. If it’s stormy, they register worry and fear. If it’s calm, quiet and comfortable, they register relaxation and peacefulness.
People who are a thermostat regulate the atmosphere. They are the mature change-agents who never let the situation dictate to them.
The good news is that people can learn to become a Thermostat.
