In a difficult situation, how do we know whether to act or accept what happens?

Master Kosen – Published on April 1 – daily-life

Question

In a difficult situation, how can we know whether we should act to resolve it (at the risk of being mistaken) or accept whatever happens? It is not always easy to assess the consequences of our decisions, but either option makes me anxious… There is something I do not like about letting things flow. Thank you in advance.
