When the SWACH BHARAT CAMPAIGN started, it brought in a lot of Awareness in our society about keeping our environment clean. It was great to see people from all walks of life cleaning the garbage on the road and keeping their surroundings clean. It was a great campaign and we should definitely clean the garbage around us for our well-being and the well-being of society :-)

But, have you ever wondered about SWACH (Me) ? I personally believe that if I am clean inside, I will definitely maintain cleanliness outside :-)

Let us go a little deeper into this subject. When I talk about being "clean inside", I don't mean brushing my teeth, etc. I mean, have I looked deep inside of me and try to change my Negatives into Positives? It’s easy to preach to others to change, but it takes a lot of Courage, Strength, Willingness & Humility to change ourselves. In my 50 years of my life I have come across only one man who has the humility and the willingness to change himself – Once a year he goes to his wife and asks her to tell him his strengths & weaknesses, because he wants to be a better husband. Then he goes to his daughter and asks her to tell him his strengths & weaknesses because he wants to be a better father. After that he goes to his close friend and asks him to tell him his strengths & weaknesses, because he wants to be a better person. WOW :-) He keeps on trying to be A BETTER HUMAN BEING :-)

BIBLE - The sinful nature of a human being wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what God wants. And God gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the Negative Qualities are :
 
Jealousy
Outbursts of anger
Sexual immorality
Impurity 
Lustful pleasures
Sorcery 
Hostility
Quarreling
Selfish ambition 
Dissension 
Division
Envy, 
Drunkenness
Wild parties 
Getting angry and reacting fast
Reaching a place late
Laziness
Carrying unforgiveness towards people
Impatience
Intolerance towards people
Being abusive
Being rude 
Low self esteem
Hatred
Addictions
Watching pornography
Being non-assertive 
Being irresponsible
Arrogance
Pride, etc

But, Godly Living produces Positive Qualities like : 

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control 
Assertiveness 
Forgiving others
Tolerance
Compassion
Non-judgmental
Respect for others
Holy lifestyle
Helping and serving others
Responsible
Purity of heart
High self esteem
Self-control
Humility, etc

(Galatians 5:17, 19-22)

If I really want the BEST out of life, why don't I give my BEST to life ? In other words, why don't I introspect and see which are the areas I need to change in myself? What are my weaknesses ? 

Once I am aware of my weaknesses and I make an EFFORT to change my Weaknesses into Strengths, that's what I call as SWACH (Me) and that is GODLY WISDOM :-)

And once you start cleaning your inside and change your Negatives into Positives, then automatically you will be :

A Better Husband
A Better Wife 
A Better Daughter
A Better Son
A Better Father
A Better Mother
A Better Student
A Better Teacher
A Better Brother
A Better Sister
A Better Employee
A Better Manager
A Better Businessman
A Better Boss, etc

OVERALL YOU WILL BE A BETTER HUMAN BEING :-) And once you are a Good Human Being on the inside, then naturally you will not throw garbage outside. you will not judge people. you will not be rude with others, etc.

Let's take this as a Challenge. Let's introspect ourselves and change our Weaknesses into Strengths :-)

How do we do this Exercise ? Its very simple - Sit down in a quiet place with a notebook and a pen. Then introspect yourself and go deep into your nature and see which are your Good and Bad Qualities and write them down. After writing down all your Good and bad Qualities in the notebook, have a look at it. When you see your Good Qualities in the notebook, pat yourself at the back and appreciate yourself :-) And when you see the Bad Qualities in the notebook, make a note of it and change those Bad Qualities into Good Qualities :-) Change those Weaknesses into Strengths :-)
 
Yes, you cannot change overnight. But, MAKE A START. Remember, any Habit, whether Good or Bad, is formed with Practice. So, if you start Changing your Weaknesses into Strengths and keep on and on and on and on working on it, then one day will come that you will become AN AWESOME HUMAN BEING, having AN AWESOME PERSONALITY :-) And whatever work you do, it will be EXCELLENT and you will PROSPER in every area of your Life :-) You will Prosper in your education, job, business, health, relationships, finances, etc :-)

THEN YOU WILL BE HAPPY, THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WILL BE HAPPY, GOD WILL BE HAPPY WITH YOU & THE WHOLE ENVIRONMENT AROUND YOU WILL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER :-)

You will SHINE and INDIA will SHINE like a DIAMOND for the Glory of God :-)
