How to Achieve Your Goals Like Griffith | Griffith from Berserk

Griffith the deuteragonist and later primary antagonist of Berserk is about as polarizing as you get on one extreme you have the Griffith did nothing wrong joke stance and on the other he's painted as the most detestable kind of leader around but prior to the events of the eclipse and in many ways after it he remains a great role model when it comes to establishing a vision creating and pursuing goals and the understanding in needed to effectively achieve your dream here's how to leverage the same kind of approach Griffith uses to achieve his goals sacrifice of all your loved ones optional the first part is to truly know what's most important to you that your goals are trying to achieve Griffith was a homeless or at very least extremely poor peasant boy in a city where his anonymity made him so irrelevant that ever even reaching the castle he looked up at seemed impossible let alone belonging and even owning one but it's this contrast that made achieving that goal of climbing up the social ladder until he could have his own kingdom so meaningful as you're pursuing your bigger goals most of them will likely take quite a while to achieve and demand a lot of you along the way so if you don't have a suitably impactful dream or basis that compels you to achieve it most people will easily get burnt out while trying to achieve it and that's why anchoring your overall mission into something tied deep into who you are is so important the next step to achieving goals with the same level of Effectiveness as Griffith is seeing the situation with Clear Eyes regardless of where you stand morally on how Griffith went about doing what he did to achieve his goals he certainly sees opportunities that others might not even be aware were available for example at a time when when he had very little notoriety and even fewer resources Griffith seduced an influential nobleman and reached an arrangement with him where Griffith would sell himself in exchange for support of his then adolescent mercenary band most would never consider this option and that's fine you don't need to be immoral in how you pursue your goals but being aware of your all your options in a situation is important for flexible thinking when it comes to achieving your goals you don't need to start an only fans in order to finance getting your first house or whatever but maybe you're sitting on a collection of cards that you don't play with anymore that you could sell maybe you have a friend who's related to somebody that runs a business and you could leverage that relationship to get a better entry-level job with that business than just interviewing for food service or retail the point is by keeping an open mind as you pursue your goals you'll be better equipped to perceive what's actually necessary to achieve them as well as what other factors could get between you and your intended outcome Griffith never actually failed to perceive the circumstances standing between him and a goal even when guts's departure threw him off it was more of an emotional consequence that led to things falling apart than failing to account for details it's this same perception that enabled him to outsmart Bad actors like Julius the queen and others during his quest to attain the kingdom if you can see the full picture of what you're pursuing your goals in you'll get caught off guard less and less meaning you won't need to keep starting over from scratch which is what ruins the momentum for most people even if Griffith had been unhe hurt after he was taken prisoner by Midland think of how much extra effort it would have taken to achieve the kind of station he had before with his forces in sham no allies in Midland to lean on and potentially without guts to act as his Berserker it would have been much harder for Griffith to get back to where he'd been before let alone achieve his ultimate goal in contrast when griffth took other actions like getting close to Prince Charlotte or dealing with Julius or the queen he had to step laterally to deal with his problems not take steps back and in some cases he actually created further opportunities for himself like when julius's death made the kingdom even more reliant on the band of the hawk for its victories but this wouldn't be possible if he was completely tunnel visioned on his goals and blind to the intentions and designs of others the third aspect to achieving his goals was griffth developing the requisite skills to adequately seize and cultivate different opportunities for example at one part of the story Griffith shares with guts that he's read virtually all the books in a room full of them in order to properly educate himself on various aspects of governing winning battles and even seduction similarly others Renown him for his Battle Tactics which we learn he actually learned like a real human rather than just had a natural main character talent for that magically enabled him to achieve all his victories the point here is that Griffith wasn't just a determined dude who figured it out he actively committed to developing himself in the different ways necessary to not make achieving his goals a complete waste a good contrast to this is scar from The Lion King He attains his dream of becoming king of Pride Rock and the animal kingdom of his area but once he becomes king everything falls apart because all he wanted was to become king he wasn't prepared to actually be one and if you pursue your goals without cultivating the skills to properly operate within that new situation you may well achieve them and find yourself worse off than when you were going after them to begin with so for example if you want to become a software developer or start an incredibly strong romantic relationship or whatever else there are skills related to both of those that you'll need to actualize on them for developing software what programming language do you want to code in how much time does it typically take to reach competency with it what's the career path to get where you want in that field are you better off starting with a certain company that you can work your way straight up through or jumping into a big role in a smaller project or group to really build up some credentials for a meaningful relationship do you know what you need in that kind of situation do you have the communication skills to effectively work things out together what boundaries do you have that the other person absolutely cannot step over without compromising your bond for each goal you seek to reach you'll want to develop this understanding of in order to understand first of all what skills you'll need to develop to achieve them and also if they're worth that level or kind of commitment and then you need to actually cultivate those skills even if it will cost time money and effort to do so not just the social media lifestyle that's implied to come with it once you've achieved them and the final aspect to achieving your goals with the kind of Effectiveness that Griffith did is to break down the requirements of achieving each one this can sound a lot like having the proper perspective and skills but it's actually separate because using Griffith as an example knowing his quickest path to social status was the leader of a military force wasn't the same as knowing how to gather a force of soldiers how to command them how to acquire the money to pay for equipment and other supplies for them and so on developing a military force similarly had its own demands being a powerful Warrior himself cultivating an iconic image of the hawk spotting talented individual in unlikely circumstances and so on were all subcomponents of that already subcomponent of a subcomponent of achieving his goal by breaking down your goals into not just I need to do this kind of stuff but the actual full list of things required and tasks to complete for each to be a success you bridge the gap from I want to lose weight this year and I'll do it by working out and eating better to I'll do this workout on X days and Y time and I'll consume a food and B portions to hit my nutrition goals in order to achieve my objective of Performing 50 push-ups or fitting into my dress clothes for a given event on this date not only does breaking things down into this list simplify things to the level of look at list do the thing but it also takes away a lot of the confusion and back and forth time of achieving one thing figuring out the next step doing that figuring out some other stuff and essentially chasing your tail until you somehow wander into your intended result and just as importantly seeing the full path to achieving your goals can help them feel way more achievable which is important whether you're a 16-year-old aspiring to be king of the land or even just an overworked person in their late 30s who feels out of shape and unloved and who wants to find a path towards balancing it out and everything in between so that's how you to achieve goals like Griffith first anchor it all into an impactful deep-seated part of yourself to give it emotional energy and importance second perceive the situation with open eyes that enable you to not just spot opportunities that wouldn't occur to others but also to take into account other forces that could work against or for your Ambitions third cultivate the actual skills necessary to effectively execute on those goals of yours so that you won't arrive at the finish line and be caught off guard by the requirements at the next stage and finally break those goals down into the actionable steps you'll be taking along the way even if it means having six levels of subtasks of subtasks so that you can see that full path and you too can be a blessed king or queen of longing demonic transformation optional
