If Adrian Dantley really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution. His preference for illusion, hypersensitivity, emotionalism, lack of self-confidence, and guilt may be holding him back.

Adrian Dantley has fairly single-minded and obstinate desires. He displays a remarkable persistence in the pursuit of his commitments, despite any obstacles he may encounter. He is highly charged with sensuality and sexuality, and they have a great deal of influence on his behavior. His expression in this area is sometimes fraught with problems because he has a tendency to try too hard to control his lustful urges. However, an emotional crisis intervening at around age 40 may bring about a total redefinition of his relationship to his sexuality.

Adrian Dantley struggles with setting unrealistic goals and with organizing his emotional relationships. These tendencies are particularly evident when it comes to his potential partners. At the beginning, he idealizes them, putting them on a pedestal, but then he tries to dodge his commitment and desperately plot to extricate himself. In other life pursuits, Adrian tends to rush into activities, of which he has only a crude, confused concept. Life could step in to urge him to slow down and induce him to organize himself with more patience and forethought.
