As you so succinctly put, pushing feelings of jealousy away isn't going to help us grow. Feeling jealous is a natural human quality; it's how we respond to it that's important. Being honest about it, knowing it doesn't necessarily reflect the core of who we are, using it as fuel for self-development—by blocking writers who cause this sensation we're missing out on all that great life juice!

Embrace jealousy, I say.

I also wrote a piece on this topic many months ago (when I was just starting to take Medium seriously). I think you may enjoy it.
