There's actually a lot of people who haven't thought this through deeply: that "the drive to create something" you have isn't a fixed trait you're born with — it's like a piece of clay that can be molded into any shape.
It's not about some vague "talent"; it's really about anything: for example, if you think you're not good at talking, it's probably because you haven't focused on "how to say things that resonate with others"; or if you say you're not creative, it's likely because the time spent scrolling on your phone has diluted your ability to "focus on one thing and think it through."
It's like the background programs on your phone: too many running at once, even the most powerful device will slow down. But if you clear out all that clutter of "I can't do it" and "it's too troublesome," leaving only "I need to figure this out now," that drive will surprise even yourself.
Have you ever experienced a moment where you "lost track of time"? For example, sitting at your desk working on a plan, and when you look up, it's already dark outside — but instead of feeling tired, you feel great. That’s not just "focus"; it's like you’ve shaped that burst of energy into the form of "solving this problem."
Don't believe the idea that "I'm just not cut out for this" — that's just a layer of film you've put on yourself. Peel it off, and you'll see how bright the screen really is. You need to focus your attention into a pinpoint, on a specific task. Once you pierce through that, that drive will naturally grow into the shape you want.
