The first lesson to learn is to resign oneself to the little difficulties in life, not to hit out at everything one comes up against. If one were able to manage this one would not need to cultivate great power; even one's presence would be healing.

To be resigned means to find satisfaction in self-denial (Self-denial is the denial of one's lower self).
