Innate talent

It's been a little bit since I last posted on here...i float in between worlds of wanting to jot down my thoughts  🤔💭 or craving to be free of them and simply rest. 😪💤 The latter wins out a lot simply because I work a lot and want sleep by the time I'm headed to bed.  🛌 I always find that I do better when I will journal a little bit. 
Tonight,  I was pondering something. Why is it that some of us our born with the natural ability to do things?  I,  for example, have always excelled at art...I intuitively know how to create works of art without much training at all.  I early grasp shading and mixing basic colors to get the perfect color or tone that I'm looking for. 🎨 I was born with this natural knack for art and the more time I've spent with it... The stronger it's become. My boyfriend on the other hand has a natural ability to understand the mechanics of things. He hasn't had any official schooling on how to work wires or build complicated wired systems and yet his mind understands it intuitively. Just like me, he gets hyper focused when he is working on a project or fixing something...he loves the challenge just like I love the process of creating! His boss often asks him how he's able to know what to do and where he learned it from - it comes to him naturally. 
I have wondered what that comes from...there really isn't a modern day scientific explanation for it❓🤔💭❓ I have theories, of course!  One,  is it possible that we reincarnate and in a past life we learned these things? What if it's passed down genetically?  Or is it a spiritual gift bestowed to us? What if it's a combination of both or not at all?  Why do most people require lengthy training in an area that only a select few intuitively excell at? 
Just some passing thoughts before bed.
