Power, energy and jealousy

For me, jealousy seems to come up often, but in a new way. I know that I have power, which is energy, when I am in Integrity with my Self. This power fills me up, fuels me, and reminds me of who I am. When I am in my habitual or empty ego self, looking for me "out there" instead of "in here", I am quickly drained of this power and its energy. This sets me up for an interesting competition with others. This occurs often in my chosen community of humans living intentional lives. There is always at least one person who will look like I want to look or feel like I want to feel, and suddenly, if I am not rigorously diligent in my discipline about who I am, I find myself jealous. This already means that I am not being for my Self the way that I want, need or can be. This is where it gets precarious. What becomes the most compelling topic for me in this place, is to explain to them, in no simple or concise terms, how much we are the same and how I know exactly how they feel right at that moment etc etc etc. If I choose to move forward with this plan, then I will most certainly take their power, in less, they are healed enough and or present enough to disallow this, which does not happen often. So, in order to keep myself from this awful setup, I continue to check my intentions when dealing with others.
