It was not the poster I was looking at, but my own frustrated reflection in the glass window. Pulling and twisting my wayward hair into all directions but succeeding only to create a bigger tousle of unruly curls, the sigh of exasperation had barely escaped my lips when I noticed it.
Talk about wake-up calls!
This message from the Singapore Breast Cancer Foundation cannot be clearer.
" The difference between a bad hair day and breast cancer is that of life and death. Regular breast checks are the best way to detect cancer. Show support for the women in your life by purchasing a Pink Ribbon."
As our everyday lives are dotted with superficial vexations such as bad hair days, pimples, and the number on that blasted bathroom scale, how often do we pause to consider the more important, yet overlooked things on which our lives depend on?
When was the last time you had a mammogram, a Pap smear, a simple blood test, or have your blood pressure taken?
When was the last time you stood in front of the mirror and looked at yourself, really looked, and realised that your best assets were much more than superficial attributes?
Are YOU obsessed with the right things?
