Where is your ifthen? We all have them. … Too often an ifthen is nothing but a stall.**
Seth Godin

We wander through the adjacent stuff of life and we come upon an emerging possibility, but also an ifbutmaybe: if this happens, but I can’t do this, maybe one day.

Behind the ifbutmaybe, almost obscured by it, is commitment.
