One of my very good friends never offiers advice, but I hear her saying (all the time), "I would encourage you to........" She never tells anyone what to do, but she lets you know she is in your corner by "encouraging".
I have used this in the past and it really works well, it is not telling someone what you think they should do, it also helps me if I am frustrated with my inability to help someone. I can encourage them and if the don't want to do what I suggest then that's ok, and they don't feel like they are being told what to do.
I think you brother may be looking for your guidance, he is reaching out.
