Suffocating passion

What is passion and can it be suffocated?
I feel the air has been knocked out of me, like I've been in a vacuum.
What is passion? I know in my head what I've been called to do; But my heart hesitates. I've been surviving for so long putting what I thought were dreams on hold in order to meet my basic needs...
But isn't your passion, your calling, something that you can never hide or fight? I mean, I have this expectation that if I was truly passionate about something, the nothing would stand in my way, but is that the truth.?
When finally confronted with an opportunity to put my "passion" to use in a 'professional' setting, I was asked to rethink and pray about it.
Why?
I struggle to breathe, fear envelopes my heart and threatens to stifle me.

Oh God, please speak the truth and may I open my ears to your voice only.
