I am the most inspiring person I know.A strong believer in making a move when one is not happy in their current station or situation. I am really puzzled as to why I am not happy in this transition to a job I thought I really wanted.

I think that you have to look at it a little deeper. It seems as though the big selling point of this new job was the fact that it was better pay.
Often when we look for a new job this is the biggest factor. The problem is that we never truly trust that our "job" is not our source. God is. As long as you find yourself in the place that you believe God wants you to be at, you will thrive in every aspect related to the job.
I think that you should seriously come before the Lord with your petition. Let me assure you that no amount of money can make up for a job that leaves you unfulfilled. I think you have to figure out what it was that attracted you to your new job in the first place. If it was only money, then you may need to start searching.

Better pay does not make a better job. And money isn't always the most rewarding part of a job. I worked for 18 years in the banking industry, mostly in mortgage banking and mortgage sales. It was all I knew. I made very good money and I enjoyed it most of the time. But I was never fufilled by it. It did not make me "happy". Three years ago (at age 38) I took a chance and became a middle school teacher at a very small private school. The pay is less that what I was making right out of college in 1988. I work more hours (even in the summer) and most of the time feel completely at my wits end. But my worst day teaching is STILL BETTER than my best day in mortgage banking. Not because of the pay, the benefits or the position, but because I feel that I am making a difference and doing something I love and believe in passionately.
You need to find that thing that you feel passionately about and do it.
There is an expression, be careful what you wish for. Sometimes the WANTING for something is better than actually getting it. It gives us something to strive for. Once we achieve that thing that we thought we wanted, then we have nothing to strive for.....
About 10 years ago we bought a very small little cottage with LOTS of potential. But it was tiny, even for our little family of three. So for 5 years we planned and talked about doing a big addition. It was lots of fun. Then we did the addition. Now we have a BIG house. It's beautiful and wonderful.....but I hate it. It's too expensive to heat, to big to clean and our furniture all looks ratty in it now......Some days I would give anything to go back to that tiny cottage....Be careful what you wish for....
I think what you are looking for is not happiness, It's contentment. And contentment is a choice. Being content means that you choose to find ways to be "happy" with what you have and in your current circumstances.
If the most inspirational person you know is yourself, and you are, by your own words, pretty much feeling un-inspired, perhaps you need to look outside of yourself for inspiration...

Give it time and if you are still unhappy then I would suggest you find another job. If you are not happy with the work that you are doing then you can become unhappy all together. Life is all about being with the people you love, and accomplishing work that gratifies your intellectual character. You do not know if you really want something unless you pursue it first. Trial and error is the key. I hope that you figure things out. Good luck!

Making more money is not always the answer. Haven't you heard the saying "money can't buy you happiness". Well you have just discovered the truth to that saying. You need to find a job that you enjoy and feel good doing. Don't look for one based on the amount of pay you will earn.

See if you can change your feelings about the job or make it more enjoyable. If that does not work then move on. It is better to love a job and make less money then to stay in one that pays more but you're not happy with.

If you are so inspiring then what are you doing working at a job that you don't like?
It sounds like you need to be less of an inspirer and more of a job hunter.

What is it that you're missing? The camaraderie of your former workers? Do you feel you won't fit in with this new group of people who seem to know their jobs so well? Or is the job not callenging enough?
It takes time to adjust to a new job. Give yourself that time to learn the process, grow and make new friends. And keep your friends from your old job. That way, you won't feel so lonely.
If you still feel such dissatisfaction in a year's time, then it is time to move to something more to your liking. and or challenging.
Pray to God to guide you and to be with you in this new adventure. He won't let you down.
You are in my prayers.
God bless you.

Give it some time. It might be just learning new things can be stressful and overwhelming. Or look for another job while you're there. Good luck!

Maybe there is something else that is missing. Your job is not who you are. Sounds like you need to satisfy your inner man.
