What is enough?


Does „enough“ exist at all?
Is it possible to love, thank, live or work enough?
And above all, how do we know when it’s enough? As impartial as we can call a glass empty or full, as subjective it is to see something as enough.

The worst moments are those in which I come to a point completely exhausted and become aware of the fact that it will never be enough. No matter if you’re encouraged by feedback, my own wishes or needs, confronting the opposite takes the hope for happiness from you. Still there is one place or one sphere in which I feel that I’ve reached the “enough”-level. It’s love – love towards Dado and towards people, love towards life, dance and myself…

Is this a proof that the Little Prince was right when he said: „It is only with the heart that one can see rightly“? But why don’t all people see with their hearts then?

I can see now that with our dance school we actually wanted to create a space in which you can feel this “enough” in all its aspects.  A space in which people have the opportunity to live the satisfaction. A space which gives all instructors and dancers the freedom to express their passion and to remove all their masks.
  
Although I can see and feel that it has taken a good direction, I often wonder if it’s “enough”. I’m rather terrified of the situations which show that sometimes it isn’t enough. A doubt about it crawls into us from time to time... exhaustion, sadness...

I’m often afraid that I cannot give enough and I wonder at the same time why I never think of getting what’s enough.

I want to thank enough. However, with every talk, every situation I get more and more the feeling that I will never succeed in that.
I want to work enough. But with every work done, there’s more of it coming.
I want to live enough. But there are so many things in life and so little time.
I want to pass on all my knowledge and joy about dancing but I have noticed that I cannot find the right way sometimes.
I’ve only succeed in love... it has always been enough for me.
Why is it then impossible that love balances out other spheres in life?

Love requires love.
In a public service company with over 30 employees that’s a bold statement J Despite that I really and sincerely hope for a world in which it will be possible to see with your heart in a working and customer relationship. Please, don’t get me wrong… we live in this world and it’s often the case that this is possible. But it makes me sad that it doesn’t always work that way.
  
We often see that little things, inadvertence, difficulties or misunderstandings in communication block the view from heart to heart. That is normal and that can happen. Why is it then that we allow good things to get blocked by misunderstandings? Why is it so hard to follow your heart…and above all, why is it often not possible to expect an open conversation?  

With these thoughts and with a bit of melancholy in my heart I wish us all more courage and frankness, more satisfaction and more glances with our hearts.

In connection to that… a huge THANK YOU to all those who encourage us and help us follow the path of our hearts at all times, who know that they can talk to us about any matter and those who cherish and strengthen our dance school and its philosophy of team spirit. 
We also want to thank all of you who give us feedback and note that we’re extremely happy about every comment and critique and that we’re immensely grateful to be able to learn and improve precisely because of that!
J
