“Facing the resignation” meaning
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
What does it mean: "You'll just be spending your day working to overcome strains, trying to live your life and at various points facing the resignation that if you can't get your *** of this wheel maybe you are never going to get to where you want in life." What means "facing the resignation"? I suppose it means accept that you can't achieve anything without hard work. Am I right?

If the sense of resignation is in fact intended, it would need to be expressed as something more like ...at various points becoming resigned to the fact that... But it still wouldn't be "good" English.

Okay, I got it! :) I have this book translated in my first language and find this book interesting. Maybe I'll try to read it next time. Thank you!

I suppose I shouldn't put you off. If you're going to read books written in a foreign language, it's probably much more important that you should choose texts you find interesting, rather than books that other people tell you are "well written". Everyone makes some mistakes with their use of language, so you may as well get used to that!

To be "resigned" to something means having accepted something (usually unpleasant) that you can't do anything about (see https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/resigned ). Resignation is the noun form of this. "Facing" means something very similar (see verb sense 2 here: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/face) - that you are accepting something. "Facing the resignation" is thus a bit of a tautology - it means you are dealing with the fact that you are most likely going to have to accept the fact of something.
