Parshas Va’eschanan is the harsh Mussar that Moshe gave Klal Yisroel. It is also loaded with reminding us how Hashem made us so great. Also, Yetzias Mitzrayim is mentioned 10 times throughout the Parsha. A person needs to constantly remind himself of all the Yetzias Mitzrayim type of goodness that he has throughout his life.
This is actually the best way to succeed; by never forgetting all that ongoing past goodness of your life.
This Parsha shows how the Torah is always emphasizing that Hashem wants only good for you, like it says: וּלְמַעַן תַּאֲרִיךְ יָמִים עַל הָאֲדָמָה so that you should live long, etc. We see from Yetzias Mitzrayim and its constant reminders that Hashem wants to make us happy, and how continuously positive a person has to be. A person has to always remind himself of his past Yeshuos, and to view Torah and Mitzvos as the most wonderful opportunities of his life. Indeed, you need to be “drunk” with positivism.
There is good reason for so much repetition. And our nature makes us repeat and repeat all the negatives and doubts and fears and worries of our life. Going through Parshas Va’eschanan many times can give you a big boost. Especially with all the self-esteem build up; how the Torah keeps pointing out how special we are. The most ideal daily Mussar Seder should have: loads of past sweet memories of Yeshuos and loads of Chazal’s that glorify the goodness that Hashem gives us and how great you are.
