You are not born with talent. It is not a matter of "you have it or you don't." Talent is a choice. It must be developed. It is available to anybody.
Talent merely requires deliberate practice.
Geoff Colvin wrote in "Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else" that there are five elements to deliberate practice:
1. It's designed specifically to improve performance.
2. It can be repeated a lot.
3. Feedback on results is continuously available.
4. It's highly demanding mentally.
5. It isn't much fun.
And that, my friends, is great news!
