Everything Is Not About you.

I was on a bus, riding through Morocco, and looking out the window, I noticed a restaurant store sign much different from all the others. 

The sign was written in English.

I wondered why anyone would write out “Pizza Shop” in a predominantly Arabic speaking country. 

Surely they aren’t speaking to natives right? 

And what tourist would come all the way to Morocco and want Pizza?

Tangine! It’s Tangine! 

Everything Is Not About you. 

When you learn that..

Many African countries look to America for the “it” thing. 

Some people feel more comfortable with a taste of home while away. 

Everyone is not as adventurous with trying food as you are. 

You suddenly realize. 

Everything Is Not About you. 

And just because it wasn’t made for you doesn’t mean it wasn’t made for someone. 

I like to look at giving in a similar way. 

Who is this for? 

What do they want? 

Even better..

What do they need? 

Everything Is Not About you.  

P.S. Yesterday I shared about values, and if you’re anything like my family and I, sharing is a generational gift. If so, how might you continue your generational gifting? Who might you share this with?
