“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
If you want to find something, you have to actually go out and search for it. Imagine you lost your keys in your house. Just sitting on the couch, hoping they will appear, won't help. You need to get up, check under the cushions, search the kitchen, and look in your pockets. This shows that taking action is necessary to get results. For example, if you're looking for a new job, you need to update your resume, apply for positions, and go to interviews. Waiting for someone to offer you a job without any effort probably won't work. So, being active and trying is key to finding what you need.
