I would argue the opposite. I would say that if we love something and we remove the obstacles in our way of doing it, we will eventually learn to be good at it even if we completely suck at it when we start.
History is full of examples of people who had "legitimate excuses" for not having what it takes to be good at something according to society's standards and they still made it because they loved it so much.
For example, Muggsy Bogues measuring just 5 feet 3 inches wanted to play basketball in the NBA. Everyone told him he's too short. Go type his name into YouTube and you'll see what he thought about that.
From my direct life experience I have found that if I pursue something that I love, I eventually get really good at it even if originally I suck at it. However, if I pursue something I'm good at but don't love, there is no guarantee that I will start to love it. In fact I don't know of anything I began to love doing in this fashion.
