Life Lesson From Love Actually

Sometimes the biggest lessons come from the smallest, most unexpected moments

Some of the most powerful life lessons don’t come from textbooks, mentors, or formal training.

Sometimes, they find us when we least expect it — like while watching a movie on a quiet afternoon.

One scene in Love Actually has stayed with me for years. It's a simple moment: a character, caught in a tangled web of emotions, finally says the words, "Enough is enough."

I would love to hear about it.
