I didn't find mine until recently, but even then - it definitely found me.

I worked really hard on stuff that I just "liked" enough that I said "hey, if this is all I did, I would be happy and would make enough money to live." This was actually something that Phil Knight talked about in Shoe Dog - he was an accountant, and he knew that if Nike totally failed, he could still be an accountant and eat.

Eventually I fell in with a group of people where a bunch of things lined up - it matched my technical skills, I liked the people I was working with, there were a set of long-term goals I really believed in, and there was career runway within those goals. I hadn't done anything proactive to find myself in that situation, I just tried to work hard and be pretty good at anything I was doing.

If you don't have a passion yet, I'd instead recommend getting a reputation for being responsible, proactive, and enjoyable to work with. Be an executor. That gets you introduced to people who have passions and need someone who can help them get the job done. Being around those people is critical to helping you discover your own passions.
