Psychic Abilities Options

Okay, so a lot of people on here have abilities of some sort or another. Empaths, telepaths, healers, psychics, many with Sight and other magical senses... my question is, do you think these abilities are something you need to be born with? It seems that most of these people have been able to See or whatever it is they do since they were very young. Can one develop these with practice? Is there anyone here who in fact *wasn't* born with an ability, but gained it through their own effort? Any thoughts or methods, throw them in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif)

Everyone has them. It takes some more work than others, similar to the idea that some people are born with a disposition to math, and others towards art. Psychic prowess is another intelligence, but has not been formally recognized. As it acts the same way as a facet of intelligence, it should be treated as such that it needs to be explored and practiced.

Predisposition to prowess is always a factor, but a predisposed psychic who is lazy won't be able to do half the things a "muggle" who works his/her but off can do.
