Work on yourself until you are genuinely happy for him.

I think you can be genuinely happy for someone, but still jealous.

I know I am. I don’t begrudge anyone earning half a million per year, but I still want that for myself.

I'm very happy for him and I don't feel jealous or even envious. It's only causing me to question my professional choices.

I apologize, I really misunderstood what you meant in your post. Obviously you aren't wasting your time, your friend got lucky, and your time may come. I'm sure you are doing just fine.
