Barnacles

Barnacles:” a small sea creature with a shell, that sticks very tightly and in large numbers to rocks and the bottom of boats.”
Just been reflecting on how in everyday life one gets these attached to one’s life without even realizing it. These barnacles can be little habits or people.

Barnacles slows you down, in case of ships they end up burning more fuel to cross the oceans, they make the vessel heavy. In order to get rid of these sometimes one has to dock the ship and get manpower to crap these off the ship base.

This stops progress and cost money. Just like in ship, in our lives, if we are not careful we get ourselves entangled with barnacles like people, who will drain all life from you. To just to be removed from our lives it might cost you more than you realized, In some cases they would rather see you dead, than to be removed from you.

Not that they want any good from you, care about you but just so they suck you dry. In every relationship you find yourself in, be it family friends or business, it’s important to take stock and evaluate if those around you are stuck on you or are around you to fuel you. Remove barnacles in your life, failure may result in your death, or zero progress. Again ask yourself are you a barnacle in someone’s life?
