Nowadays, we lose patience as everything is quickly and easily available. Whether it's a series, we don't have to wait for the next episode, or it's food delivery, or an incredible selection in stores. We do not want to say that it is something bad. Time evolves and we evolve with it.

However, we let ourselves be robbed of quality. Everything is quickly available and this affects us in everyday life as well. When we learn something new or read something, we want to know it quickly, we don't want to "waste" time by learning, reading, searching. We want someone to open our head and pour all the information into it, like in the Matrix. But it doesn't work like that. We have learned to enjoy the result, and we have stopped enjoying the journey.

It is difficult to be patient. Especially when you see perfect people, dancers, athletes in the media who can handle everything so easily and effortlessly. However, the fact that is not advertised and is not presented much is how much effort, time, energy and self-denial they had to invest to be where they are. And although we all subconsciously know this, our consciousness is still trying to get closer to them.

We want to achieve the results in a week that the professionals trained for years. If you're not a former athlete or dancer, like me, you'll probably get frustrated if something doesn't go as you expected. Fortunately for me, my partner used to dance and I know he had a hard time with me at the beginning, but he was the one who tried to keep me grounded and reassured me that to be a good dancer takes time.

What I have a problem with today means that if I don't give up and I'm patient, tomorrow I will be better at it and the next day will be even better. This is how I learned patience, which I use not only in dancing, but also in life and work. When you are patient, it is no longer just about reaching the goal, it is about the journey itself, about every day, every minute of your life, which will enrich you. You will start to enjoy even small things. Because life is not one big goal, life has a lot of small and beautiful moments.

Even Edison when a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

"Great success is built on failure, frustration, even catastrophy."

In tango, once you understand the math puzzle, you start to dance tango. The puzzle is simple and contradicts what we learned at school, but it has its own meaning and justification.

"In tango one and one do not make two, in tango one and once make one. A man and a woman constitute to couple, so much so that the moment we pose our attention on one of the dancers, be it the man or the woman, this is the indicator that the couple has started to lose its oneness." (Tango an anxious quest for freedom, 2000, Gloria and Rodolfo Dinzel, ISBN 3-00-006119-3)

For me, this concept of oneness is the acceptance. In the acceptance of myself, who I am and who I am becoming, and in the acceptance of my partner, who she/he is and who she/he is becoming. This acceptance continues throughout the dance, throughout life. We dance tango for ourselves and at the same time for our partner, we try to achieve oneness together, it is the time when we get lost in the movement of the other, and it is no longer me who leads or me who follows. Every step, every movement is guided by the feelings of both of us, not just the individual.

At first beginning, it was a big obstacle for us we had to overcome, not to forget the other, to accept and perceive each other. To realize that in life and in dance, in the couple everyone plays their own role, creates and exists for yourself and the partner.

We are getting better at it and it shows in our connection throughout dancing, when neither of us can tell who leads or who follows, when we are so connected that every expression is a manifestation of our own expression of music and our feelings as a one. We are no longer, the partner who leads and the partner who follows. We are the one that perceives ourselves, that accepts ourselves, accepts its current physical and psychological state and allows it to manifest ourselves as one in a couple. You're not listening to each other anymore, you just exist. It is a feeling as if at that given moment your hearts, your feelings, your desires, your mind are connected into one being, when it is unknown where the leader begins and ends and where the follower begins and ends.

If you watch a couple in which such a concept of oneness and acceptance, as an observer you perceive a uniqueness that no one will ever repeat. This uniqueness, this moment, will not be repeated even by this couple. If you ask the couple what steps, what figures they danced, they won't be able to answer you, because they didn't dance the steps. During the dancing, they "danced" feelings, "danced" music, "danced" themselves.

It may sound too poetic to you, and if I hadn't experienced that feeling myself, I wouldn't have believed that something like this is possible. Once you experience such a dance for the first time, you do not want the Tanda (a group of 3-4 songs finished by Cortina - "break") to end. Over time, when you experience the feeling of acceptance in dance more and more, you begin to get to know yourself more and the end of Tanda you feel that this is the beginning of something new, a new ME, your new adventure.

Accepting and getting to know each other is one of the most important elements in tango dance, which can help you to progress not only in dance, but also in life. Assert yourself, your own desires, prevents us from flying. Maybe it's more comfortable for us because it's easier to express what I want rather than what my partner wants, but I guarantee you that the moment you leave your self-confident zone and once you start to communicate with your partner, your dance will move into the realms of infinity Your mutual being and there will no longer be a leader and a follower, you both will be one.

Argentine tango is not a dance of figures. Argentine tango is a dance of endless possibilities, which you can achieve only by accepting each other, actively listening to each other. You solve the puzzle and in a given time one and one will become one.
