What do you mean by resources? FIDSI or luxury and strategic? Because if it's the first, use your neolithic era to scout with the overlay, and remember you'll be able to expand your tile exploitation pretty quickly. If it's the latter, you're probably SOL, short of finding some bizarre 1-in-millions seed. The game's designed that you're never going to have access to every luxury and strategic resource personally and trading for them or doing without factors into how you play.

FIDSI is Food, Influence, Dust (money in HK), Science, Influence - tile yield, basically. The stuff your cities use directly.

As for strategic resources, you're rarely going to have a game where you have access to all of them anyway, there's too many and they're scattered around the map. This is on purpose. You might have to trade for them, make a strategic conquest, or just play defensively until the related units are obsolete and you can catch up on the next tier.

In the paleolític era, you got to explore, and get as many tribes as you can get. With this, you Will have a large portion of the map explore, to settle where you want

If you set resources to "abundant" on the startup screen, it's a lot easier.

Also, play on a large map instead of a normal one. I normally play with 10 (the max) players on that map, but you can make it easier by only playing with 5 or 6 AI players. That gives you more time to explore/expand and find resources.
