Don't listen. You'll likely do just fine.

I'm passionate about education. I'm working towards the goal of children's education.
I recently discovered my passion and it has given my life a lot more purpose. I do find it fulfilling.
It's difficult to give you a straight answer though. Because some people argue that we can never find an objective reason to live a fulfilling life.
but if you accept a subjective reality then it really is up to you what will make your life fulfilling. I think you will find that passion actually is what you want it to be. I don't think it would be possible to be passionate about something and not find it fulfilling at the same time.
As far as cultivating one's passion goes I would reccomend that you first define what your value system is. Do you value a spiritual, humanistic view of the world or a physical, animalistic view of the world?
Once you are comfortable with your values then just look at doing things that maximise those values.

i like this.
being passionate about something is understanding it with your brain; believing it with your soul; and pursuing it with your heart. having a passion is part of the life experience.
-------------------- I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

I'm passionate about not dying someday, about getting into a relationship with an attractive, intelligent woman, about understanding as much as possible about the world we live in, and about picking up some PBR from the local market before they close.
