Kirk Douglas has a streak of the pacifist or defeatist in him. Learning to assert himself in a strong, clear, forthright manner, and developing stamina in the face of obstacles are necessary to counter such tendencies. To accomplish all he is capable of, it would also be very beneficial for Kirk Douglas to work on building up his physical energy. Kirk needs to get regular exercise, eat healthfully, get plenty of rest (something he may require more of than average), and especially avoid activities and people that dissipate and waste his time.

He is highly ambitious and will drive himself (and others) mercilessly when he wants to achieve something.

Kirk wants very much to be in a position to be able to positively influence and help many people. However, he may believe that he has to sacrifice his idealism or convictions in order to attain his ambitions. At times his desire for prominence, popularity, or stature may make Kirk Douglas do things that put him in a dubious situation with his superiors.
