A certain fundraiser told the Ponivezer Rav Zatzal that has no Hatzlacha. The Rav asked him what he does. He said that he gets up in shul, and cries out that nobody gives money for Torah... and it’s not right! Guess what happens? They continue not to give! But the Rav Zatzal told him that he gets up, and says how well he’s doing, and how people are giving generously. As a result, they continue giving even more, and in a short time, the Rav makes loads of money.
This is true in all areas of a person’s life. Never kvetch! You invite more things to kvetch about, Chas V'shalom. Be like Yaakov, who said: יֶּש לִּ י כֹ ל וישלח לג יא I have EVERYTHING! Look how he was Zoche to twelve Shevotim and the basis of the whole Klal Yisroel. The greatest people are those who don’t do so well, but they still insist on being positive!
It seems like Eisav wasn’t too bad, since he said: יֶּש לִּ י רָ ב וישלח לג ט I have plenty (mostly everything). However, this can be dangerous, since you are still dissatisfied. Some people need to be extreme and insist that they are missing ZERO! (And to appreciate even their Yissurim, since: ל לְ ֹּ כֹ הַ טוֹהבָ it’s all L'tovah).
