Whatever situation you're in, you're probably going to have to change who you are a little bit to fit into the situation. One of the best things you can understand is how to be a social chameleon that is able to change its color based on its surroundings. This will allow you to create better rapport with those who you're interacting with and make a more enjoyable environment. You're not being stiff with your personality and you’re giving others the opportunity to interact with you to pass you by. 

When it comes to your goals, sometimes you need to change who you are so you can step up to the challenge and become the person you need to become. The situation dictates who you need to become and you become more successful because it. This doesn't mean changing who you are, you still have your core values and principles and you won't sabotage those but you can change your message and actions based on the situation. So be like water and take the shape of the container you are in. Trying to force things is rarely a strategy that works in creating change and being successful.
