A few thoughts:
I disagree with every point made here:
I don’t take kindly to being told how to do my feeling properly.
I don’t think you can define emotionally strong people by what they don’t do.
This list isn’t motivational. It’s guilt inducing. I don’t think there’s a human being who fulfills this criteria. A robot maybe.
I believe the only thing you need in order to be emotionally strong is to allow yourself to feel EVERYTHING without judgement, without should/should not.
Wait…it was created for or by a credit card company. Okay, that makes more sense. No wonder it gave me a gross feeling.

As I was reading this list, I was thinking ….ooooh, I guess I am NOT perfect and NOt emotionally strong, but I am human with all of my faults and foibles. That’s what makes me ME! Then I read your part about this being compiled for American Express! That explains it. Commercially force feeding us pseudo-enlightenment. Thanks American Express, but no thanks!
Thanks Melene for exposing this one. Good work.
