Live Your Passion?

I was listening today to a NPR broadcast, I think it was there technology segment. And the interviewee was talking about how he has created his own niche in this economy and has made it possible to make a living from living his passion. This interested me to no small degree because I am very dissatisfied with what I am currently doing and feel that I am not where I am supposed to be in my life. I have a beautiful wife and two wonderful children, but my work life is unsatisfying. I want to find a way to live my passions.

So what are these passions? I have a passion for music, both playing and listening to it. I like to write about music. I love to read, especially Star Wars novels. I have a passion for Star Wars in general - games, books, figures, etc.

I love to play chess. I love to follow the ins and outs of politics. I love to discuss philosophical subjects, especially those of theology.

I love being silly. I love making up silly words.

How can I combine all of these into some sort of future from which I can sustain myself and my family?
