Picture of the Day
You are looking at a parasite called Cymothoa Spingbok – a parasite that severs the blood vessels of a fish’s tongue and becomes a new functional tongue. Only known parasite to replace an entire organ.
Free drifting in the ocean they find a host fish and enter through its gills.
The males attach themselves to the gill arches, until one is old enough to change sex to female.
Thereafter it moves onto the host fishes tongue where it bites on and stops the blood circultion, causing the hosts tongue to disintegrate.

Start Small
I’ve noticed on the internet that people literally want to change their lives overnight. That’s not the way things work.
It’s like being able to bench 100lbs and expecting to bench 1000lbs the next day. It takes time.
Don’t have an all or nothing mentality.
A few years ago I started meditating. I told myself, “I’m going to meditate 30 minutes a day!”
For the next six months I’d only hit my goal maybe 5 times a month, and I’d keep beating myself up.
