Have you ever felt discouraged, resentful, or left behind when someone else succeeds?

In this episode of Valleys to Victory, Jeremy Greening explores how scarcity thinking can make another person’s success feel like your own loss, and how comparison can quietly hold you back from your goals.

Scarcity thinking often begins with old experiences and beliefs about limited resources. It can lead us to compare our starting point with someone else’s years of progress, withdraw from helpful connections, or feel uneasy even when someone we love is doing well.

But what if success were more like a garden than a pie? Someone else’s growth doesn’t mean there’s less opportunity for you. By shifting from comparison to curiosity, and practicing genuine celebration of others, you can begin to build a mindset rooted in abundance, collaboration, and personal momentum.

Jeremy shares practical reflection exercises to help you recognize scarcity triggers, challenge old stories, and take one meaningful step toward a healthier prosperity mindset.

• How scarcity thinking blocks growth — Understand why another person’s success can feel like a personal loss and how resentment or withdrawal can limit connection.
• Why comparison slows your progress — Learn how comparing your beginning to someone else’s advanced stage can drain energy and distract you from your own goals.
• How abundance thinking creates new possibilities — Reframe success as a growing garden of opportunities that supports learning, collaboration, and connection.
• How to practice a mindset shift — Identify your triggers, ask what you can learn from someone else’s success, and take action to genuinely celebrate them.
