czasami musisz po prostu zrobic co jest oczekiwane (od Ciebie) OR


Explanation:
go with the flow - (for sb) to proceed easily and cooperatively in the same manner that other people or processes are moving.

Translation is tricky since we don't know more of the context.
You can say that:
- czasami musisz po prostu dac sie poniesc z pradem
- czasami musisz po prostu zrobic co jest oczekiwane (od Ciebie)
- czasami musisz po prostu dac sie poniesc nastrojowi/emocjom
- czasami musisz po prostu zrobic co jest dobre dla wszystkich/zespolu/w danej sytuacji
- czasami musisz po prostu podporzadkowac sie biegowi rzeczy
- czasami musisz po prostu pojsc (komus) na reke
- czasami musisz po prostu zrobic tak jak chcesz (sample: go with the flow, take more classes)
- czasami po prostu musisz byc gotowy na wspolprace
