Sit down and make a list of things you really enjoy doing. Next, make a list of things you are good at....things for which you have a natural aptitude. If you are unsure, there are a number of online tests that can evaluate your natural abilities, and score you in various areas...like administration, sales, organization, people-oriented, etc. etc.
When you have completed both lists, pick your #1 aptitude and look at the items on your "passion" list. Try to imagine ways they can work together and fit into some sort of job description. Then take your #2 aptitude, and repeat the process. Continue matching up aptitude with passion and thinking of possible job descriptions. When you are done, you'll have described several employment opportunities, some of which may be new to you, and you can refocus your efforts.
I think it's necessary to match abilities with "passion"; otherwise you will become very frustrated. For example, I love to play music, but I wouldn't presume to call myself a musician, nor would I try to make a living at it. On the other hand, I'm very good with numbers, have good organizational skills, and enjoy helping people with their finances...so I became a banker.
Trying to find your place in our world today can be a daunting task. Take an organized, systematic approach in evaluating yourself and the task will be much easier.
Good luck to you!
