Get Off the Comparison Train
In this week’s episode of Breen Time, Sabrina explores how constant comparison can quietly drain your confidence, distort your perspective and hold you back from living a life that feels like your own.
In a world filled with curated images of “success,” it’s easy to believe you’re behind. But success has no universal timeline — and when you measure your life against someone else’s path, you lose sight of your own.
Sabrina shares real examples of how differently life can unfold for each of us, and offers practical guidance on redefining success based on your values, your stage of life and your long-term vision.
You’ll learn:
- Why comparison leads to insecurity, low self-esteem and anxiety
- How “life stages” differ for everyone — and why that matters
- Ways to shift your focus from others back to your own goals
- How to reshape the story you tell yourself about your life and success
- Look back before looking forward — name the moments in your life when you felt genuinely proud or fulfilled.
- Define success in concrete terms (not just “happiness” or “freedom”).
- Identify the trade-offs you’re willing to make — your choices show what truly matters.
- Reflect on family or cultural ideas of success: do they fit you or not?
- Write your finish line — the life you want to look back on at 70 or 80 and say, “Yes, that was success.”
Key takeaway:
Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it never will — it simply means your timeline is different. Success is personal. Define it your way, at your pace.
