Adler believed that infants are born into feeling inferior which in turn leads to overcompensation in order to turn our weaknesses into strengths. His idea of superiority striving, striving to improve oneself and achieve your own personal best, has been a characteristic of my personality since I can remember (Cloninger, p. 72). I have always had goals and dreams that have the same…
