I enjoy reading the insights of the great copywriters. This one by John Carton posted on his blog is one that caught my attention:

The Envy Cure | The RANT

    I think the best cure for envy is to realise one thing: The only one envy destroys is the one doing the envying.

    The object of envy is - usually - completely unaware of the situation.

    And even if that person is aware, it doesn't really affect him/her because they're not the one with the emotional problem.

    My feeling is, if anyone is successful, good at their job, etc., good luck to them.

    I disagree a little with what John says - and Dan Sullivan - in that I believe it's okay to strive be like those who are successful.

    But, always keep the attitude that if it happens, it happens. If not, at least you tried.

    Strive for more, but also be happy with what you have.

    I've never really been the envious type, but not because it would be "creepy" being someone else or dealing with the things they do. People have to realize that those in different/better situations are incredible resources. If you were the top in the field at everything you do there would be absolutely no one to learn from. If admire someone, instead of hating them for it, befriend them. Figure out how they do what they do. Instead of a competition it becomes a sort of partnership, or at least a lot happier for everyone involved.
