I don't think it is something you can have your entire life. I think there is most definitely a "muse" that strikes certain people in their lives. I can't begin to explain what's actually going on in the brain, but there is something about just being in the exact mindset needed to create amazing music. I say keep trying and it may one day come to you.

That's not to say people who don't have that can't be great musicians. There are people that create melodies and people that "find" them. With modern technology, it makes it very easy for those people to shine. Found sounds, a beat that inspires a melody, building layers to create a song...that's still musicianship. Although I think you can clearly hear the difference in a song that was created and one that was pretty much built.
