I ran into the word ブレ when looking for cameras. But after searching I've also
seen it in this usage, like in here: <http://metalpilldrums.cocolog-
nifty.com/okazu/2011/12/index.html>

> 清く正しく潔く、言う事やる事 **ブレない** で生きたいねぇ

Does this have to do with the "deviation" meaning as japandict says?
<https://www.japandict.com/%E3%81%B6%E3%82%8C>

Like "やる事ブレない" is "To not deviate from what I'm doing."

Am I wrong?

question
translation
What does "やる事ブレない" mean?
The "physical" meaning of ぶれる is "to deviate (from the correct position)" or
"to be blurred". ぶれる also has a figurative meaning, "to waver", "(for one's
opinion, policy, etc.) to become inconsistent", etc. Note that ブレる is an
_intransitive_ verb, and 言う事やる事 in your example is not its object.

> 言う事やる事ブレないで生きたい  
>  = 言う事 **や** やる事 **が** ブレないように生きたい  
>  (Literally) I want to live so that what I do or say does not waver.

The nuance is "I want to have a consistent principle/policy and live up to
it."
