It’s tough taking the time to hear the worst case scenario

When you go to an attorney, mechanic, doctor, or whatever professional you decide to meet, you go there with the express purpose and desire that they will fix your problem.  The reality is that you are confident that they can help you evaluate your situation and provide you a meaningful solution.

However, the reality is that in order for them to let you know what they can do, it’s best for them to let you know the WORST CASE scenario.  The hard part about the worst case scenario is that most times, we don’t want to hear about it.  We don’t want to know about what will happen if the wheels fall off, or if we have to have a procedure, or if we may lose.  That’s not why we went to that professional in the first place.

Despite your fears and apprehensions, it really is in your best interest for you to hear both sides.  You want to be physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared for the possibility that you may hear some information or news that you simply DO NOT LIKE.  It’s not sexy or pretty but it is reality.  For every good situation there is going to be a down side.  You gotta know about it and be prepared for it just in case you find yourself having to make that tough decision of having to deal with that situation.

Listen, the best thing to do when you find yourself having to face a unique situation where you have to seek the counsel of a professional is to accept the fact that you may hear some information that you just DON’T want to hear.  However, you can’t make an informed decision unless you know both sides of the outcome.  Trust me, in the end, you will appreciate that worst case scenario (especially if it doesn’t happen).
