Inspiration comes from many places but it is so easy to be dismissive of some sources in this hierarchical and classist society. The beauty of life is that we’re all gifted with experiences and from these flow wisdom. Each of us carries a wealth of wisdom born of every choice we’ve made on our life journey. 
When we take the time to listen to people we tap into their wisdom. We can get the advice, help or assistance that we need for the challenges that we face. In some cases we find inspiration for things we didn’t even know we were passionate about! 
It is so easy to be dismissive of people, sometimes unintentionally, after all we know better than anyone what we want, right? But as I have grown to truly open my mind, I’m finding wisdom in the words of all the people that God is directing into my life. 
It’s a great exercise to reevaluate everyone in your life; to look at them with fresh eyes and hear them clearly without the preconceived notions about them. After all, that is what we want: to be heard. 
Humility is indeed a treasure. 
Blessings!
