Summary

It’s fairly obvious that if you look for your car keys or you look for your wallet, you will eventually find your keys and wallet.

When we are riding our mountain bikes and there is danger to the right, the inexperienced tend to look to the right - where they want don’t want to go. Which is where the bike then tends to turn.

If you walk through life looking for conflict you will find it. If you look at life negatively, you will find negativity.

LESSONS:
Don’t look where you don’t want to go. Focus on where you want to be.
When you find yourself looking at negativity, acknowledge it, then deliberately look for 3 positive things to offset it.

0:00.0	Hey Spartan's Brian Chantosh here on Spartan Stand and this week I want to talk about looking for what you want to find.
0:07.0	If somebody were to say, hey dude, why don't you look for what you want to find?
0:15.0	You'd probably give him this look like, yeah, hey, no kidding, right?
0:18.0	If I wanted to look for my car keys, I'm going to find my car keys.
0:21.0	Or if I'm missing my coffee mug, I look for it, I'm going to find my car keys or if I'm missing my coffee mug I look for it. I'm going to find it and that makes plenty of sense and so it's mildly interesting. However, when we think about it from an emotional sense or we think about it from an argument sense or a relationship sense,
0:37.0	it starts to have an interesting concept or takes on an interesting light.
0:42.0	First I want to relate this to... concept or takes on an interesting light.
0:43.0	First I want to relate this to mountain biking.
0:47.0	Maybe you've mountain bike, maybe you haven't,
0:49.0	but if I'm mountain biking on a ridge line
0:52.0	and I know that it's a really steep drop off to the right and it's safer, mild slope on the left.
1:01.0	Where do I tend to look? I tend to look to the right, like, oh, I don't want to go down there. I don't want to go down there. I don't want to go down there.
1:08.0	And what happens to the front wheel? And inevitably, is where I'm looking is where I go.
1:13.0	And then you struggle.
1:15.1	Whereas if I look where I want to go,
1:18.7	that's the direction I'll head.
1:21.0	And so how I relate this is if I'm always looking for conflict, I'm going to find
1:26.3	conflict. If I'm always paying attention to bullies or these online trolls or
1:31.8	whatever we want to look at,
1:33.0	you're going to find anger,
1:35.5	you're going to find argument,
1:37.1	you're going to find unhappiness.
