In 1943, C. I. Blackwood experienced six worries simultaneously:
Blackwood decided to write his worries down. As he could not resolve any of them, he filed the list away. Eighteen months later, he reviewed the list and realized none of his worries had materialized. His business college recovered, and his son survived the war. Plans for the airport were never realized as oil was found nearby. Blackwood dug a new water well, and his tires lasted longer than he expected. An improvement in his finances also allowed him to send his daughter to college. Due to his experience, Blackwood realized the futility of worrying about things that are out of one’s control.
