“The only people who can change the world are people who want to.
And not everybody does”
Hugh Macleod.
There are many different environments and situations you end up in on a daily basis. Whether it’s life or from a business aspect. From these environments you will either bring change or be changed. Let me say that again… “From these environments you will either bring change or be changed.” The sad thing is that many people fall into the category of being changed. Which is known as adapting to the norm.
In order to please people, you often adopt to their mold or liking. How do you test this? When you search your heart are you comfortable or did you do it to try fit in? The subject matter of this article deals with two pieces of instruments with different functions, the thermometer and the thermostat.

The thermometer is used to tell the temperature of the environment or atmosphere it is put in. When you put this instrument in a room of 70° this will show up on the thermometer telling the temperature of the room.

On the other hand, the thermostat, when put it in place causes the room to change to its setting. If you set the thermostat to 80° then the room will adjust to that temperature. You and I can function in the form of both of these instruments. How do you know which one is appropriate for the place you are in?
Glad you brought that up. First and foremost, you were made to resemble God “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” Genesis 1:26a (KJV). Therefore, it is more appropriate for you to be God’s thermometer.
When you get in the presence of God you will absorb his climate. There’s no need to rush out of the room because God’s climate will give you the right setting for your life and business.
It is in his presence when things that do not belong in your life are removed. Only things that are from God are able to survive in his environment. This is why the enemy (the devil) will put up a fight and try to stop you from getting there. A moment with God can make a major difference in your life.
This prepares you for what’s next. When you would have received the right setting for your life then you are ready to change or set the atmosphere for the environments that you go into. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”.Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
You have now been empowered to bring light into the darkness of someone’s life. Imagine bringing a smile to a parent by giving them hope to know that their child is going to make it through their moment of difficulty. How about helping a customer or client know that they are special and God has a purpose for them being here. I am of strong belief that your business is also your ministry.
It’s simple ways like these that are taken for granted where you have the opportunity to being a thermostat in today’s world. All of the things that are going on today, we need more people like you that are willing to help make the world a better place.
Regardless of the size of the impact you make in someone’s life, always remember that a little help to someone in need can always go a long way.
See you again soon.
Take care until………and God Bless ya
