Do or Don't

I'm currently in a situation where there is action that I could take that I feel could get me what I ultimately want, but part of me doesn't want to feel like I'm forcing a situation, causing me to not get what I want at all. This is a VERY testy situation that I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go well, but I'm very much conflicted on the best way to handle it.

How do you balance "Letting go and letting God" with "Taking life by the horns"?

Pray for me...
