Either
"make the best of every situation"
or
"get the best from every situation"
Which you use is largely a matter of preference.
The "get" version carries a slightly negative connotation of manipulating events to one's advantage, perhaps over the best interests of other people.
The "make" version has a more positive connotation of determination to have something good come out of adversity, which may well include benefit for people other than oneself.
