Put yourself in the shoes of successful person and consider efforts/struggle/talents of the person too. That makes jealousy transform into inspiration.

Stop comparing yourself to other people. You will ALWAYS be able to find people that are better or worse than you in certain respects, but it doesn't matter. All you can do is try to be the best you, the success will follow.

You start by not comparing yourself to them . You see them winning at something, but take a moment and reflect on if that is actually something you would want. Consider the costs and weigh the pros and cons. And if you want they've got, don't be shy in asking them how they got there :) reframe your thinking. Make this a positive learning experience

I believe the best way to achieve this is to be able to first recognize when you are being jealous of someone. Take some time to think, what am I jealous of? Why? In this case, if you are jealous of someone else's success, ask yourself why are you jealous of their success? If the answer is because you wanted to be in that position, then try to figure out what you can do to feel the same level of accomplishment... or if you are jealous that they COULD be successful, try and think of ways or other things you can do to better improve yourself or your situation. Try to fill in what you seem to feel you are lacking.

Tell yourself that you can succeed as much as they can, and that you just need to focus yourself to it. Or try to forget about their success. If they're telling you about it, tell them that you would rather not because either say your jealous or that you're feeling down about not succeeding or however you're feeling about it.

Success isn't like a glass of water, if one person takes a drink that doesn't take away from what is left in the world. Success is like the oceans, more than enough for everyone to have their fill. So remember that they aren't taking from you. Also, success happens for those who are supportive, so in supporting others in their successes you increase the chances of your own.
