JoyDrop: Thermometer or Thermostat?

joydrop-logocontinued…

You may have heard of Trent if you are a follower of the NFL, or watch ESPN or Monday Night Football. He played for years in the NFL and is now a broadcaster and QB (quarterback) coach. Trent says, “There are two types of QBs: thermometer and thermostat.

  1. Thermometer QBs can reflect the current conditions and try to make the best of them.
  2. Thermostat QBs can change the current conditions by using their attitude and actions.

I totally get what Trent is saying and it made me think: those two types of QB’s reflect types of people, too. Some people are great at letting others know of the current conditions, while others are wired to change the current conditions and make the world a better place. I would say Jessie was clearly a thermostat type… she has forever changed the landscape of childhood cancer because she decided to.

Are you more of a thermometer or thermostat? What would the people closest to you say you are? The key is to be true to who you are and make every day the best you can.

NEGU,
