The literal meaning is simply that what can't be "cured," or fixed, must be "endured," or put up with.
This is the same as the figurative meaning.

2) Figurative meaning - You´d better live according to your real situation and possibilities, otherwise you´ll always be facing a conflict in vain with yourself, with no solution either.
