Consider :— You came to Earth with talents that you are meant to share with others. You came in order to give a unique gift to the world or a specific part of the world, even if it is just your immediate circle of influence. Until you discover and express your gift to the world you will not feel fulfilled.
Your passion is what you love to do. It is what you choose to do whether any one pays you are not. It can also be what you love to BE , eg . love, peace, harmony, joy.
To discover your passion, you may need to spend time in the silence, in quiet contemplation. Or you could use the technique of writing in a journal and use free flow writing to allow your inner being to have a voice.
Some people already know what their passion is but they do not see how they can make a living from it. Or they fear to take that first step.
If it is something that you decided to do before you came to Earth, if is part of your divine plan, you will feel unhappy at the end of this lifetime if you have not achieved what you set out to do.
If it is in your divine plan , then it is possible of achievement for you have the potential.
