• According to research, people feel worse in a crowd – if a friend is shaking in fear, the calmest person may start shaking.
• Courage is also contagious – watch someone do something brave and others will jump in.
• That happened recently when a woman got her leg caught under her car when failing to put it in park as she exited.
• A group of courageous people lifted the car allowing the woman to be pulled out – she survived with injuries, but survived.
• How we think matters – if we live in fear, we will assuredly spread it to others (and vice versa) but if we emphasize our courage, not fear, we spread it to others and they to us.
