Seven years on....should I be moving on or to stay on in this vocation

It has been 7 years here coming this June..I was leading this group of newly recruited staff about 10 of them in total to our lab facilities just a couple of minutes ago and now am back at my quiet office, I was thinking to myself how time flies past me so fast this 7 years. When I first joined this organisation I was only 36 going 37. But now I am 43 goin 44. Next comes the natural question for anyone to ask: What I have achieved for myself this 7 years....has my job duties been changed or am still doing the same old things since 21 June 2001? Well, as a matter of fact, I must say that I am still doing those things that I first joined without much changes (in fact no changes at all). It has been this way since day one...in other words, I am quite stagnate in my job, to be honest. Imagine yourself for a good whole 7 years you see yourself doing the same thing day in day out and year in year out...there will come a point that you will want to go for a change.

Well, I am discerning about it whether or not to leave...and have not come any conclusions of such..coz here is not all doom and gloom and that makes it harder to come to a decision. It has its merits...but the down side is that the longer one stays here, like anywhere else, the higher the chance for that person to stagnate, simply because humans being humans, they like to see new things, new people all the time...take for example electronic gadgets, latest model after latest model, handphones etc...

So it is in us..human nature..I know I have been talking about this job being a vocation for myself and I know it is this vocation I am able to stay on for a good whole 7 years..all my previous working lasted the most 4 years, this one is the longest.

Should I move on? I really don't know...I am at the crossroads now...

Have a nice day!
God Bless
