A proverb states, "A brother is born for adversity." Therefore, a brother sticks with you during difficult times and helps you get through these times well. A brother seeks your highest benefit even in these difficult moments. A brother is by default a genuine friend, but even more so he is by your side during the storms seeking your highest good in all.

your best self despite the current situation(s). This, of course, would imply that they know you well enough to understand your true and best self and what that would look like in various situations in your life. What is a Soul Sister?

Persevering during difficult times as well as good times. These are sisters who understand their friends and know how to help them get through the tough times. They know you well. This is somewhat implied throughout this section. They know when you are down and how you will respond to different situations. Summing It Up


Having a brother and being a brother are two different things. Qualities of a true brother are someone who sticks with you during difficult times, someone who seeks your highest good, and someone who inspires you to be your best self. Qualities of a soul sister are sharing and caring, persevering during difficult times, and knowing you well. How It Applies to You So are you a brother or sister to someone?
