It means you accept what you are given or have (already) and do the best you can with it (in life or in some other situation).

Hi this sentence reminds me of a song called "God is watching you". Am I right? Basically this sentence means that you have to deal with what life throws at you, good or bad. It's like a card game, once you get your cards, you have to male the most of what you have to try to win the game.

Similar phrases: "When life give you lemons, make lemonade." "Roll with the punches" "Go with the flow"

make do with what you have

You play the cards you've dealt => Kendi dağıttığın kartlarla oynuyorsun "have" mi, "are" mı?
