How to stop hoping for other people's downfalls?

Exactly what the title says. I often catch myself wishing that people close to me should fall back so that I can rise, which is of course, a vicious way of thinking. These are likely intrusive thoughts, much like most of the other ones that I have. I just want them to stop. I hate wishing bad things for other people but I genuinely can't help this; its like internal tourette's or something. If any of you guys struggle with this (which you likely don't), how do you deal with this?
