roll with
Handle without resistance
Roll with means to accept and adapt to circumstances rather than resisting them.
The phrase comes from roll with the punches—a boxing technique of moving with a blow to reduce its impact.
To roll with something is to go along with it, adjusting as needed: The plan changed, but we rolled with it.
You just have to roll with whatever happens.
