Do I choose or absorb my attitude?

I like to think about this in terms of being a thermostat or being a thermometer...do I set the temperature or do I response to the temperature? I think that internally energized people tend to be thermostats and externally energized people are more likely to be thermometers.... it is not a good/bad thing. I am a thermometer, and we need both.
