Having popped up more than once during my reading in these past few days, I felt this phrase had a message for me.
Read up on it on the Net, and here's what I found.
To roll with the punches means:
Every time life throws an unexpected turn, go with it - don't fight it or try to get even.
When things don't go your way, adapt to the changes and keep moving ahead instead of flipping out.
If something unexpected happens that might be negative, don't let it get to you - instead, adapt to the situation; handle life's hardships.
To cope with and withstand adversity, especially by being flexible.
Quite a deep hidden message...and one to be taken very seriously...
