A thermometer is static and just tells you what the temperature is at that time. But, a thermostat is not static and allows you to change the temperature to what you want it to be.
The thermostat allows you to set goals and encourage change to make a difference in your future, rather than just tolerating the way things are at that time, like a thermometer. Be a thermostat and set goals and then follow through like a thermostat to reach those goals. Don’t accept the thermometer’s reading as the way it is and must be, when you can control your future by setting goals and working to achieve them.
Be a thermostat, not a thermometer!
