Sisterhood plays such an important part in the lives of women. Whether it be sisterhood in a sorority, a ministry organization, or a simple friends group; the women you surround yourself with influence and impact your life so much. Some reasons sisterhood is important are:
1. Support
Change in our lives can be hard and sometimes we don't adjust to the changes well. Having a good support system to stand behind you is such an amazing feeling. Sisters are basically the best group of cheerleaders you've ever had.
2. Best secret keepers
You can put your trust in the women you surround yourself with. Submerging yourself into a group of women who you can tell anything to will create a bond that is unbreakable. There may be things going on in your life that you may not want the world to know, but in sisterhood, secrets and struggles are kept safe and in the comfort of those whom you trust.
3. You always have a friend
Want to have a night out? Want to have a night in? In sisterhood, there is almost always someone in the group who would love to do exactly what you want to do. Why not do it together? There is no better shotgun rider than your best friend with some great tunes. Creating memories with these women will last you for years to come.
4. Inspiration
When it comes to inspiration in sisterhood, you're basically untouchable. Sadly, sometimes people hurt you or will tear you down. A woman you would call a sister is there no matter what. She loves you and cares for you, she wants to see you do your best. She wants you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. There is no better inspiration than what comes from women who love and support each other in all that they do.
5. Accountability
Sisters who hold you accountable for your actions are the best ones to have. When sisters get to know each other, it is easy for them to learn the morals and values they each have. If you are ever in a situation where a decision could hurt your values or morals, they will just remind you of the woman they know.
6. Friends for life
Though you may lose touch with some of the wonderful women you surround yourself with, they will be the women who even if you called them years down the road, they would pick up. They will always be there for support, to help you if you have a problem and simply be a friend.
7. Comfort
Sisterhood can be a comfort zone for many. In sisterhood, you can be yourself around the women you spend time with. You can chow down on all of the snacks you want, binge watch Netflix all day and nobody will judge you. Heck, they might even join in on the fun. This group of ladies will know you best and the reason they know the real you is because you take comfort in their company.
8. Best advice givers
Having a rough time? The best people to seek advice from are those who know you best. The women you surround yourself with will be able to give you advice from all sorts of angles because their thinking is so diverse. They will also be able to tell you what is best for you.
9. You mentor others
Sisterhood is so powerful in so many ways. A group of strong women can lead so many others. There are people who feel like they don't belong or maybe haven't found their home yet. A huge part to mentoring others is to reach out to people who are different than you. A group of women can lead younger generations to carry themselves with respect, passion for things and love for others.
10. You push each other
Sisterhood is so extremely important because a group of women wanting each other to do well is something not everyone has the privilege of having. Having someone stand behind you, telling you, "you can do it," is an amazing feeling.
