If we become good at dealing with reality, will it lead to inaction? It could, if we are overcome by a sense of fatalism and respond with defensive or 'coping' behavior. Accepting reality does not mean there is no need to work to change it.
How are we to move forward?
In the short term, tackle reality with equanimity. Be proactive in setting goals and acting to move to the desired state (vision).
Things will stay the same or get worse only if there is no goal-driven action.
Dwelling only on short term or acting without perspective in the name of 'dealing with reality' will result in a reactive (and counterproductive) behavior. Working on achieving vision while ignoring short term realities results in 'ivory tower' thinking.
Deal with reality while working to change it.
