Another way of saying “keep strict watch” that you dont do [A], but that you do do [B]
0
I am trying to find another way of saying "keep strict watch" that reflects the following ideas:
(1) the dilligence need to avoid the danger of inadvertently persuing (B - an unwise course)
(2) the persistence required to perusue (A - the beneficial course)
(3) the need to constantly be observant so as to perceive and distinguish the differences between the two.
(4) theneed to be resolute in this effort

Well, You would need to tell them to “monitor constantly but discretely” (.or “...but inobservés”) Maybe there is a neater way, but I cannot think of it.

To me, what you described sounds very similar in structure to the Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." I don't think that either thing is amenable to a single-word or short-phrase description. There are simply too many components going on. Even your keep strict watch is insufficient.
