Passion is indeed very important.
I once had a chat with a career counselor on the train home.
I asked her if she could summarize in one sentence how one could go about finding the perfect job for oneself.
Her answer was brief but profound.
"Find out where your INTERESTS overlap with your ABILITIES."
Sounds easy, but it takes a lot of introspection and maybe some feedback from others about what you like to do and what you are good at doing. And even then, these might not mesh with any current opportunities.
