Part 3: Searching and Finding

Ever bought a red car and suddenly you see red cars everywhere?


Your brain isn’t playing tricks. It simply follows your query—your attention.


If the quiet question is “What’s broken?”, it brings you evidence. If it’s “What’s working—and how can I use it?”, you collect answers you can act on and move forward.


Not wishful thinking—just better queries (better prompts).


30-second story: Yesterday I stared at a blank slide. Wrong search: “What’s missing?”New search: “What do I already know for sure?” Three true bullets appeared. The slide almost wrote itself.


Set one better question (stick with it for 7 days):

  • Where is progress already happening—and why?

  • What resources do I already have that I’m under-using?

  • Who is already doing this well—and what pattern can I borrow?

  • Where did I have abundance today (time, help, ideas, opportunities)?


Make it visible (2-minute habit)

Create a notes category called Evidence Hunt and, each evening, add 3 concrete pieces of evidence that support your question. Short bullet points are fine. After a week you’ll have a page of proof that’s hard to ignore.


When hard facts show up Don’t push them away. Fold them in. Ask: What is this information inviting me to try next?


We find what we search for. Choose a search that moves you.
