Sometimes, some things are inevitable. There's no way to get around them. Kind of like quicksand, the more you fight, the deeper you will get sucked in.
Embracing an inevitable change doesn't betray your values or show a weakness. It shows your ability to comprehend and adapt to a dynamic world. Fighting something, that by all means is inevitable, will only alienate you and likely burn bridges. It will likely illuminate some aspects of your core being that are not all too pleasant. After all, once an animal is cornered, the fighting gets ugly and desperate.
Embracing change can often bring with it tremendous benefits. If a new law, or perhaps organizational policy is coming down the pipe - jump on it right away. Be one of the architects that shape how it works. I'm not saying this just to get in early and bend it to your will, but bend it to the concept of fairness. Shape it to how you think it should be applied to your work or industry. This not only solidifies your character, but strengthens your organization as a whole. When the organization benefits, everyone benefits.

I could not agree with this more. So many people don't roll with change when it can be so advantageous to the company. With the times and the new technology around us, we need to accept that things are constantly changing, and if we don't move with it, we will be left in the dust.
