I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accept a difficult situation' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'that nice hike not organised' is the wordplay.
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'that'+'nice'+'hike'+'not'='thatnicehikenot'
'thatnicehikenot' anagrammed gives 'TAKE IT ON THE CHIN'.

'finding' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for take it on the chin that I've seen before include "face the situation stoically" , "facing razor blade?" , "Accept defeat stoically" , "as a boxer might?" , "Be courageous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
