Finding My Purpose While Scrubbing Kitchen Floors

After working in a multi-national company for years and earning a lot of money, I cannot understand why I felt empty. Despite the fact that I was able to buy all the things that I wanted whenever I want them still didn’t make me satisfied life was meaningless somehow. This is the reason why I tried something drastic and volunteered in one of the shelters in our neighborhood and what was crazier was that I opted to wash the kitchen floors as my volunteer work. I tried to hide what I was doing from my colleagues but for some reason they were able to find out and they started making fun of me. When I first started this work, I thought that I will readily quit once people in my office learned about what I was doing. However, it has been a couple of months since the teasing started yet I cannot get myself to quit. I am not sure it makes sense but I feel a lot more useful on my knees here in the shelter, than seating comfortably in my huge office.
