Here's the thing.

You can be passionate about a goal. You can set it as your prime life focus. You can intend to "achieve your dream in life." But unless you're a sociopath, you're going to need to be invested with others. It's much easier for a team to be gung-ho about something than an individual. And if you aren't gung-ho about your team, you're not going to be gung-ho about anything that team does.

Passion is a sharing thing. If you don't have anyone to share with, you're going to have a hard time building it. Work on that and the rest will follow - you may even find yourself being deeply invested in someone else's passion.
