How do I curb an overly competitive mindset?

I find myself feeling jealous of alot of people's achievements when I know I should be happy for them. And I don't understand why I feel like this to the point that I can feel it physically. It gets very toxic that I undermine my own achievements and wish to be as great as they are even when I've not done enough to even deserve recognition. I understand the amount of hardwork and dedication for them to reach to that point but even with all the logical explanations, I still feel this quiet anger and envy inside of me.

I want to be a better person. Feel free to leave down some advice, thanks.

Jealousy is a natural feeling. Part of being human. Truth is it is difficult to feel inferior all the time, but those are societal standards, they don’t have to be yours for yourself.

You don’t really need to be happy for them, just be happy for yourself.
