how much can a person change?
kinda related to the jealousy thread and how it got talking about was it possible to change and an incident at work last night.
Long story short some arsehole tried to hit me in work last night. I dodged it, took control of the situation by being assertive and keeping cool and got them out of the pub with no more hassle involved. It was only after I thought about it that just over a year ago I would literally have climbed over the bar and started fighting wether it would have cost me my job or not and how much I've changed and grown in a relatively short space of time. I mean one of the only things I liked about my previous job was that if anyone shoplifted or tried to assualt you, you got to kick their ass and I wouldn't think twice about it but last night my main concern was keeping all the new staff safe, making sure it didn't escalate and glasses didn't start flying across the place and the last thing on my mind was trying to look like some macho gangster. kind of ironic considering i've took up boxing.
I have changed alot of things in my life over the past year and am a much more contented person as a result.
I'm just wondering if you think that it's the events solely that changes you or if it's how you deal and react to events over time that changes you and any major changes you've made in life and how it's changed toy personally.
little bit of psychology for a wednesday night.
