Comedian Milton Berle used to say, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”
Put another way: don’t follow your passion, cultivate it.
“In which ways am I better and different from other people who do similar work?” If you stopped going into the office one day, what would not get done?

You need to find your trifecta: the intersection of your interests, skills, and opportunities (ISO).
When you engage with a project in your ISO, you’ve entered your zone of maximum impact.
Think in terms of progress, not perfection.
