Sakhat is being grieved at adversities and misfortunes which may befall one to the extent of complaining about them. The opposite of the vice of sakhat is the virtue of rida which is being satisfied and content with whatever Allah wills. Sakhat is a kind of karahah, and rida is a kind of hubb.
There are many traditions condemning sakhat and exhorting man to be patient in face of adversities and misfortunes; since they are for trials Divinely ordained. Basically, we must realize that life in this world is made up of suffering, difficulty, sickness and death, and without exception all men must undergo these things. So, we must teach ourselves to deal with these kinds of hardships. Such preparedness is called rida, and its highest stage is complete contentment with Divine will. This is how the Quran describes such people:
... Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great triumph. (5:119)
And this is how it describes those who lack this quality:
... and they desire the life of the world and feel secure therein ... (10:7)
It should be noted that in books of ethics taslim (resignation) and rida (contentment) are usually used synonymously. This is because of their close meanings; because one who is content with whatever Allah wills for him is also completely resigned to Allah's will in all aspects of his life.
