His active mind is always buzzing with ideas and Desmond sometimes finds it difficult to relax, slow down or take the time to reflect and regroup. Desmond Howard tends to live on nervous energy. He can accomplish a great deal in short bursts, but projects that require long-term commitment, stamina and steady, persistent effort are not easy for Howard.

Asserting himself and being direct and forceful about what he wants is often very difficult for Desmond. Though he may have a great deal of energy and drive, Desmond Howard lacks confidence or simply the desire to put himself and his interests first. On the positive side, Howard can be very unselfish, working more for the benefit of others than for himself.

However, Desmond Howard denies his own desires and needs too much, and he is likely to secretly become very angry, which will sabotage his finest efforts.

He is inclined to be a tyrant and wants other people to submit to his wishes. In Desmond's drive to gain power, he could be ruthless and brutal at times. On the other hand, Desmond Howard may have to struggle to resist being placed in someone else's hand and power.

Deep, compelling drives that Desmond Howard does not entirely understand are likely to be the source of his rather extraordinary ambitions. He may find that a drive for dominance, power and control stem from the rather problematic and intense relationship Desmond had with one or both of his parents. If Desmond Howard is willing to delve deeply into his own fears and inner life and clear away much of the conditioning of his earliest years, he will indeed discover tremendous inner resources which can be used to fuel his rise in the world.

Desmond very much wants to be in a position to be able to positively influence and help many people.
