Everything I Do, I Do It For You
When you love somebody, your ambition would be to please the one whom you love.
Because of love, you are more than willing to go the distance and make the sacrifices for that special someone.

Is It Time For You To Change Job?
Is it time for your change job? My short answer would be "No" if you can't even love what you are doing right now.
Since you are on this job you might as well choose to love it by finding ways and means of getting things in done in the most effective way. While you may not have the perfect aptitude or skills, your willingness to learn and resourcefulness to get the job done well would actually train you in soft skills (e.g. dealing with people, communication, leadership, problem-solving, situational analysis and meeting timelines) which would work for you wherever you go next in your career.
While you work your way up in the present job with better performance, you can evaluate what would be the dream job for you -- something which is of the highest value to you and you could find a way to be paid handsomely for doing it.
For example, you would really like to take care of the elderly. So you set up an app to serve as a marketplace to match caregivers with people who need a helping hand to care for their parents or run errands for them during specific time slots.
Make the necessary preparation before you move to your dream job. Find out as much as possible (do your research with due diligence), and arm yourself with the knowledge (including paper qualifications where required) and skills (e.g. coding an app) as well as source of funds, if you are starting a business.
Even when you are in your so-called dream job, things will not always be smooth sailing. When the waves come, what you have gained from loving what you do back then would equip you to navigate the choppy waters and steer yourself back to safe haven.
There are also situations where you might actually find that your dream job is contrary to your values or natural inclinations. Or, you might find that by loving what you are doing right now, it might accidentally turn out to be your dream job.
So learn to love what you are doing before you do what you love. You are the master of your own destiny depending on how you respond and manage external factors which are beyond your control. Train yourself at your present job to love to do even what you dislike.
If you remain adaptable, teachable and resourceful you will be able to love what you do, and potentially do what you love in the near future with persistence.
You are the change that you really seek and not so much the job itself.
