Here's my advice. If you have a passion, make it part of your life. Do you love to write, play music, pick stocks, build furniture? It doesn't have to be your career, but find some way to incorporate it into your life. Write short stories, get in a band, start building a portfolio on the weekends.
This does two things. As you get better at it it will be a means of demonstrating skill and gaining status, which benefits every man. And, it will give you piece of mind and something to look forward to you when you're dealing with the more unpleasant aspects of your life.
Also, it may even lead to that thing becoming your main gig.
