I don't seem to be passionate about anything anymore in life. I'm almost 39. Tried everything already. Life is just boring now.

I am also passionate about life. I love life but don't necessarily love the way we live it. Passion is kind of my motto. I proudly wear a chinese word tattoed on the left side of my chest. It's translation means "Passion".

I have lots of different passions and the list has grown. Before marriage and children, my passion was and still is philosophy, theology, spirituality, cultural anthropology, and so on.
My childen and husband are central to much of my passion now. I work tirelessly to inform them of the things they can't and Will never learn in the education system. At the lower level elementary levels anyway. I hope my children will think outside the box, resist oppresive conditioning and recognize propaganda when they see it, and truly understand some of the more serious problems society faces. Particularly at the global level. We just don't care about one another as we should, as a familial species. I try to enlighten my kids, well when their old enough, to these things so that maybe, just maybe when they enter the world as an adult - they enter into it determined to make change.
I also have passions in art, writing and reading. Even if I lived to 100, it will still not be enough time to learn all that I want to learn before death embraces me.

My passion is and has always been writing.
Unfortunately, I currently devote more energy to overcoming PTSD that stems from an assault in 2011.
My passion is to live, walk as close as I can in Christ. Even though I believed that I knew Christ, I only realized over the past 2 years that I never did, as I thought I did. It took me months to get a spiritual awakening, +- a year of spirtual growth, with sweat and many tears of weakness. Still growing, still battling, still weak at times, but I persevere, and at times I don't know how I make it through.
It may sound silly to many. On the 17th of August 2012 I had this overwhelming feeling of love, peace and joy. I cannot explain this joy, i have no words to justify the feeling I had. All I know it was so pure, perfect perfection which dwelled inside of me. But, I knew it was from our Father. Impossible to explain and prove it, I know this. But, I know the truth.
And so this counts as a passion, too, i want for everyone to experience this, hence my participation in many religious discussions. I know I have my foes, but I don't care. If i can make one person experience what I had on that Saturday one year ago, it will be worth having angry non-believers bashing me.

I'm not really sure if people will understand why this would be the first passion I thought of when I read the OP but I wake up every day hoping for as many laughs as possible. Nearly everyone I associate with at work and my mates have a very dry and sarcastic sense of humour and we feed of this, coming up with quick and witty remarks to comments made is a total pleasure that we share with each other.
ETA: Summary: My passion is to amuse and be amused
