How Adele Is a Role Model
18 Reasons Adele Is the Role Model Our Kids — and We — Need in This World
Adele's résumé is already long and impressive, but I'd like to add a new piece to it: role model. My love and respect for Adele run deep, and for years she has been someone I look up to, but as I get older, I realize she is also someone I would be proud to say my kids believe is their role model. She is strong, she is successful, she is kind, and she is downright hilarious. Adele carries out her life with an air of confidence in herself and is unapologetic about sharing her feelings and opinions, no matter what they may be. As a wife and mother, she strives to fiercely protect her private life from the public but is never quiet about how much she loves her husband and son.
At only 29 years old, Adele has already accomplished so much, and she's endlessly humble about it. Yes, her success is inspirational, but her attitude toward life is more so. She is someone I shamelessly admire, and these 18 reasons are exactly why our kids should do the same.
1 She learns from her mistakes
2 She knows it's OK to start over
3 She believes in feeling your feelings
4 She loves herself
5 If she doesn't like doing something she has to do, she makes it fun
6 She lets it go
When she experienced some technical difficulties during her 2016 Grammys performance, Adele was understandably very, very upset. But rather than dwell on it, she let it go and moved on. We all know kids can get very, very upset about literally anything, but is there a better role model that proves moving forward is the best way?
7 She is so supportive of her peers
8 She embraces her quirks
9 She supports women
10 She shares her good fortune
During Adele's Carpool Karaoke, she told James Corden about paying for people's meals and giving out tickets to her shows. From sharing toys to sharing a lunch with someone who might not have one, your kids can learn a lot from Adele's move.
11 She proves you can be successful even when you start small
12 She always has a good time
As evidenced by many photos on her Instagram, Adele makes sure to always have a good time. She can show your kids life should be about enjoying the fun things!
13 She loves fiercely
Adele is not quiet about her love for people. She loves Beyoncé. She loves Rihanna. She loves her son and husband. She tells everyone about it because saying "I love you" makes a difference.
14 She promotes body confidence
Adele is very comfortable in her own skin. She said in 2009, "I have never been insecure, ever, about how I look, about what I want to do with myself." It's all about learning to love yourself.
15 She loves animals
16 She enjoys the little things
Adele reminds us all to find joy in even the little things in life. Maybe being at the front of the line to bring the class back in from recess doesn't sound like a big deal to you or me, but it might have been the highlight of your child's week, and celebrating that is important for them.
