The definition of “a leopard never changes its spots” is this. “It signifies that people cannot fundamentally alter their character, even if they try. It also implies that innate traits, whether good or bad, remain fixed.”
Have you met one or two along the way? Did you choose to tango with them and in so doing lose a part of yourself? You’re not the only one. They’re out there and like the predator that they are, they’ll feed on you if you let them.
They are the liars, the cheaters and the ones who march to a different drumbeat. Not one of integrity, honesty or decency like people with good behavior traits do, rather they’ve learned they can prey on someone and when they’ve had their fill they’ll move on to the next victim with no consequences whatsoever.
“A leopard never changes his spots….he just changes what tree he sleeps in….or who he sleeps with.” Unknown
Are you hanging on to someone who doesn’t deserve your loyalty? Has he shown you his “spots” but you refuse to see them? Are you hoping that in time he’ll change? Or are you praying that you’ll be the one to change him?
STEP BACK!
Those behavior traits are ingrained in them. Perhaps, they can’t change who they are but you can change how you deal with them.
KNOW THIS:
“No matter how much a snake sheds skin. It’s still a snake.” Unknown
And that applies to the leopard as well. They’ll change their tactics, they’ll change their hunting style, they’ll whisper sweet nothings in your ear, they’ll look you in the eye and make you believe that they’re the next best thing to sliced bread. You can do one better. Walk away before it’s too late and you become another prey in their animal kingdom!
“Something I learned about people…..if they do it once, they’ll do it again.” Unknown
AND
“Rain wets the leopard’s skin but does not wash out the spots.” African Proverb
It’s just a matter of time before those spots reappear and the leopard is ready to pounce again!
A LEOPARD DOES NOT CHANGE ITS SPOTS!
Keep your distance and stay safe.
Have an amazing day.
