This is a guest post from Kary Oberbrunner<\/a>, author of Day Job to Dream Job<\/a><\/em>. He left his day job to help individuals and organizations discover and live their passion. You can follow him on Twitter<\/a>.<\/div>\n

You might be familiar with The Shawshank Redemption<\/em>. Remember the storyline? Andy Dufresne, innocent of any crime, is saddled with a life sentence in Shawshank Prison. The experience nearly kills him and his hope for freedom.<\/p>\n\n

I filtered the movie through my own experience. Stuck in my day job, I felt imprisoned from my potential. Although I loved the people I served and worked with, I felt captive from my creativity. Slowly over the years, I accepted my own life sentence. I thought it was easier to let my dreams die than to keep hoping for freedom.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not what Andy did. He escaped. And eventually I did, too.<\/p>\n\t\t
