Losing desire to create, and thinking about quitting art. Any advice?

I feel like I lost the desire to create the art I like and only to draw to learn, which feels like a huge chore to do. I’m learning anatomy right now and I feel myself gradually losing any desire to draw what I want to draw. I had art books of artist I love and always looked at them daily, now I barely look at them and if I do it doesn’t feel the same anymore. I feel like I lost the passion to create and everyday is more practice to nothing. Art just isn’t fun anymore even though it’s my main hobby. Even my father says passion can’t pay bills, which is true but I wish I could’ve been better to make art a career while enjoying it. Anything would help.
