No wonder Moshe became the greatest person who ever lived! And the more positive you are, the greater you become! Just the opposite of Amalek, who tears down everything, and makes fun instead of respecting. Say: “I had a great day” (although you felt lousy). “I have a great job” (although you may have all kinds of difficulties). “A wonderful family” and “great Chavrusos”. “Beautiful weather!” (although it’s boiling hot, or pouring rain, or freezing cold!) ****
Say you’re a “great person”; especially when you feel that you aren’t worth a penny! People who are constantly working on changing their negative nature, are Zoche to Nissim and Nifla'os. Have patience! סוֹף כָ הַ בוֹד לָ בוֹא Your day will come. No wonder Moshe was able to give so much Tochacha in Sefer Devarim; he was total Simcha and positive, who loved to see only good. *****
Most of us need to shy away from being: מוֹכִּ יחַ giving Tochacha, to ourselves and others, since we are already overkill with unending criticism on ourselves and on others. We need to lie our heads off day and night, and be extreme in positivism, and laugh as much as possible at our never-ending issues. אַ פִּ ילוּ כָל הָ עוֹלָ ם אוֹמְ רִּ ים רָ שָ ע אַ תָ ה, הֱ יֵה בְ עֵ ינֶיךָ כְ צַ דִּ יק כעין זה במסכת נדה ל ב, ואיפכא Even if the whole world says: “You are a Rasha”, view yourself as a Tzaddik! Saying this may often be a: חוֹב קָ דוֹש holy obligation and a Mitzva Rabba - it’s survival! פִּ יקוּ שפֶ נֶ חַ דוֹחֶ ה כָ ל הַ רָ וֹתה כהּלָ וּ Saving lives comes before the rest of the Torah (besides the “big three”). And often we need to stick up for people we dislike, or whom we don’t respect, and insist that they are Davka good. Keep lying! The liars (L'shem Shamayim) come out ahead. ******
