"Where does it say that you have a contract with G-d to have an easy life?"

the Lubavitcher Rebbe



"Failure is not the enemy of success; it is its prerequisite."

The ultimate destiny

Out of the daughters of Lavan, it would seem that Rachel was destined for a better life. She was beautiful and Yaakov preferred her to her older sister. But, as Rabbi Shimon Isaacson explains in the video below, Rachel, who starts out with great promise and optimism is the one who has fewer children and is not buried with Yaakov.
Let's learn a lesson from this that we shouldn't be jealous of someone's beauty or someone's wealth, because, ultimately, we might be better off than the one of whom we are jealous.
Wishing you a good Shabbos.
