"Roll With The Punches".......................
To tolerate or 'roll' with the hardships one may unexpectedly run into.
Sidebar: Origin of 'rolling with the punches' was, and still is, a boxing term. The term is used to explain how boxers will often angle themselves in certain ways to help lessen the impact of incoming blows. For instance, if an opponent throws a left punch, a boxer can 'roll' with it by moving his body and head backwards and to the right, so that way, even if the punch lands, it wouldn't be quite as damaging as a full contact strike.
