“I realized I've been a poor steward of the strengths I actually have.”
The problem is rarely absence of strength — it's misuse, neglect, or misdirection of the strength already there. Owning your nature means knowing your actual inventory and deploying it with intention.

The Architects
“Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?”
