I'm not sure it needs to be one or the other in that way. I don't think it's really possible to 'resist' change, only be in denial, and generally I don't think that's healthy. Sometimes it is part of the process like when grieving.
I don't think acceptance and change are so tied together. "Where you're at" is not a static thing, it is a dynamic thing which changes from day to day. So accepting the state of your life isn't really about your 'spiritual level' or what-have-you, it's more along the lines of being honest with yourself about your actual reality. Change comes and goes, that is the nature of a universe in motion, so it isn't better to do one or the other absolutes. It doesn't have to be in extremes.
If you ask me, it's more like surfing. It's not just a duality of surrender or resist, but rather there is an interplay. The universe provides the wave, but you need to provide the tension to ride the wave. Surrender to the universe enough to follow the path of least resistance, but do not passively follow, do so actively with your will at the ready.
