Liam and Ian were good friends. Their friendship went way back from middle school. Liam had a positive outlook in life and seem to be happier in life. On the contrary, Ian had a habit of overthinking and used to come into various conclusions which would darken his mood.

"Hey Ian, Hurry up. Let's go. Our friends must be waiting to meet us!" exclaimed Liam. Ian was in his room upstairs with tears filling his eyes and lost in thoughts. "Are you okay dude?" Liam stood behind Ian who was looking outside the window. "Yep, am good. I will join you in a minute" told Ian. As Liam left the room, Ian collapsed into his bed. For the first time in his life, he was feeling as if his heart was breaking into a million pieces. As he closed his eyes, the face of his girlfriend flashed in front of him. "I am sorry guys, looks like Ian is not well. We will join you for the next reunion" Liam ended the call.

"My life is over man. I did everything for her. I took her on dates to expensive hotels, I saved up just to buy her gifts frequently and all she did to me was break-up when she met a rich guy? When I thought all of this was true love and we were meant to be, this is what she does to me!" Ian felt vulnerable and poured his heart out in tears to his best buddy, Liam.
"Life brings in various situations infront of us. It depends on how we handle each situation and move forward. If we think positively and go through each of the tough phase with our loved ones, we can overcome any situation. Our thoughts could make a difference. If we are negative and self-critical, our mental state would take a turn for the worse. Some people would even get depressed. There is nothing wrong in asking for help. I am here to help you man. You have many good friends and family to help you through this tough phase. Try to think positively in a hard situation. I know it is hard to practice and easier to tell but we can get through this situation". Liam spoke from his heart. Ian felt a bit better by listening to his trusted friend's advice. The next morning Ian was a changed man. He went to office with his best buddy. He was still hurting but took his friend's advice to heart. Within 5 years, Ian became the manager in the company and was happily married with kids. He changed the way he used to think. Positive thoughts and motivation around him helped him to achieve success in both his personal and professional life.
