שַׂבְּעֵנוּ מִטוּבֶךָ וְשַׂמְחֵנוּ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ If a person feels full and satisfied with the good that he already has then שַׂמְחֵנוּ בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ, he stands a good chance to get a Yeshua, since Hashem sees that he is a person who is into appreciating. This is the concept of blowing Shofar on Rosh Hashanah; a time when it's actually Assur (forbidden) to mention Chet, and you can't even eat a walnut, since: אָגוֹז is the same gematria as: חֵטְא Chet.
On Rosh Hashanah, we just try to enhance and appreciate our greatness; we don't get involved in the “mud” of Chet. On Rosh Hashanah we walk around feeling “full”, and this is our Tikun, since we are Sameach B'chelko. R' Shlomo Kluger Zatzal says that the Halacha to say the “Yehi Ratzon” by all the Simanim is an Inyan of Gam Zu L'tovah, and by saying everything is good, it actually becomes good.
You say that you're a great person on Rosh Hashanah, and you appreciate all your Maalos. You don't get involved in Chesronos; this makes you be Zoche B'din. This is the secret of the Jewish Derech that the Tur mentions, that we go to court wearing Simcha’dike white clothes, with guaranteed Bitachon that for sure we'll be Zoche B'din.
This is the way to succeed in Avodas Hashem; always start with positivism. By saying: “I'm perfect, since I have so many Zechusim. And being happy with my Zechusim, together with my Bitachon that I'll be Zoche B'din, AND being happy with making Hashem Melech”; is what makes you be Zoche.
Now, you can get involved in your sins, since you are full of Simcha and Bitachon. And on Yom Kippur you wear a Kittel and fast like a Malach, as if to say: “Even though I'll be saying plenty of: עַל חֵטְא )I sinned), I'm actually like a Malach, and all my Chata’im (sins) aren't the real me; like a Malach who cannot sin. My sins are like a:מום עוֹבֵר short-term illness, and only temporary insanity.
