that vision thing

falcongrrlI think there's a basic conflict between having a clear vision and being flexible and open to whichever events occur. And I'm not sure which is more useful. Too much of the second, and it's easy to drift without direction. Too much of the first, and it's easy to be inflexible, avoiding a reality that doesn't match your expectation.
I tend to lean toward lack of a clear goal or focus, but I'm not sure if this is something that should change or not. The fear is that if I commit myself to one certain outcome, and it doesn't happen, then I'll be heartbroken. But maybe fear shouldn't enter into the equation at all. Maybe the trick is committing to a certain direction, harnessing will to achieve it, but at the same time being open to it falling apart. Detachment, as always, seems to be what I'm working on somehow.
(Things I'm thinking of specifically that correlate with this thinking - spiritual activities for our family, family environment as a whole, preschool and education in general, activism in the broad, career plans. )
