"Every individual acts and suffers in accordance with his peculiar teleology, which has all the inevitability of fate, so long as he does not understand it"

This quote by Alfred Adler recommends that every person has an unique function or fate that they are aiming towards, which this purpose is as inevitable as fate. This suggests that, even if an individual does not comprehend their own purpose, they will still act and suffer in accordance with it. Adler's quote recommends that it is only when an individual comprehends their own teleology that they can start to take control of their own fate and make decisions that are in line with their own goals. This concept remains in line with Adler's belief that individuals have the power to form their own lives and that understanding one's own function is the essential to accomplishing success.
