The Dynamic Duo: Risk Plus Faith

by Suzanne Young

As I sat down to write this article, I had no idea what my topic would be. Suddenly, a thought went through my mind. The thought was: Dynamic Duo equals Risk plus Faith. I then realized that one of the most beneficial law of attraction principles I've learned is when you are ready to step out of your comfort zone and take a risk, you can be assured of attracting great results when you let go of how you're going to manifest this new desire and then simply turn it over to the Universe/God to handle the how

One thing I've experienced over my many years of practicing the law of attraction is that when I'm wanting to manifest a new and exciting experience, I often journal about it and ask the universe for guidance. Sometimes I end up writing what I need to hear in my journal. Sometimes the guidance shows up in the form of a well-orchestrated synchronicity. And sometimes I feel a nudge to do something, or I hear words run through my mind that move me forward towards my desired manifestation.

So, when this idea, Dynamic Duo equals Risk plus Faith appeared in my mind I knew it was a sign that this would be an enjoyable topic to write about.

As I put my pen to paper, I began thinking about how easy it was to take risks as a child. From the time I was born up until school age I was blessed to have parents who did not judge me or criticize me when I tried things that didn’t work out. When I tried something new, I never worried that I was taking a risk because I was never told I couldn't accomplish it.

It was a different story when it came to school. I found myself experiencing critical and judgmental adults. I also watched bullies laugh at others and call them names when they made mistakes. School had rules that I didn't have at home, so learning or exploring anything I wanted to, whenever I wanted to, came to a halt. This is when I took on the attitude that it wasn't worth taking a risk that could possibly make me feel ashamed or embarrassed.

When I was 34, out of the blue I got a phone call from a girlfriend I hadn't talked to in over a year. (In hindsight it wasn't “out of the blue” but instead a wellorchestrated synchronicity that would change my life forever). She told me she was having fun and making great money selling UndercoverWear lingerie at home parties. She thought I would be good at it because she knew I loved having a fun girl’s night out but she knew I never took time to do this for myself. She also knew that I had been unhappy for a long time because my husband was a verbally abusive, controlling, alcoholic man.

I was faced with a dilemma. Should I take a risk and ask my husband for the money? He always went to the bar every night so I highly doubted he would be willing to stop that habit and come home to babysit the kids on the evenings I had a home party scheduled. Gratefully, a sweet, kind voice in my head told me to take the risk.

The night I told him what I wanted to do, he quickly came up with several reasons why he didn’t want to give me the money. He became verbally abusive (as usual) so rather than trying to fight with him I decided to take a deep breath, sit quietly, and tune him out. During this quiet moment I came to peace with the fact that he was going to say no. I decided to let go of any need to convince him.

The next thing that happened really surprised me. During this quiet time a thought suddenly popped into my head that said, “If you give me the money, I will be successful.” This thought was calm and peaceful and encouraging. It seemed odd because it sounded like I was talking to myself. It even sounded exactly like my voice, yet I knew these weren’t my thoughts because I knew for sure he was going to say NO. Much to my amazement, within a couple of minutes after I heard this voice in my head my husband said, “Fine, here's the money.” As he walked away, he said, “You'll never be successful.”

Three years after he gave me the money, I was one of the top achievers in UndercoverWear. I had built a structure of 150 women and was making as much money as my husband who was an automotive engineer. This enabled me to get a divorce and raise my four children as a single parent for the next 10 years. Thank you, God!

This true story reminds me how I came to believe (by proving it to myself first) that the law of attraction’s Dynamic Duo equals Risk plus Faith. If you'd like to walk away from an abusive relationship, or become healthier or maybe start a new business, I invite you to try using the LoA’s Dynamic Duo and find out for yourself how the Universe/God might surprise and delight you in ways you never could have imagined. You’ll also discover that where there is faith there is no risk.
