How talented are you at finance/what do you do? Or what are you naturally talented at?

I’ve recently been thinking about how far I think I can go with finance. I’m by no means bad at finance, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to reach a point where I feel like I can truly live and breathe finance like others I know and I’m not sure my ability in finance will ever be able to match up to my abilities in some other areas. For example, I can wake up from a dream and sketch out a bunch of designs but I’m not sure I’d ever feel inspired like that for finance. Do you guys think you’re talented at finance and what do you do? Or, where do your natural talents lie?
