Professionally it's far better to be great at one thing (or a clump of related things). The market doesn't if your skills are kind of close to a professionally marketable level in many areas. On the other hand, it generously rewards those who are the best at any task people care to pay for. Find your strongest comparative advantage and milk it for everything you can. If you're good at and bad at writing, then be a musician, allow your writing to remain horrible and work with horrible musicians who can write.
In the personal domain, the situation is the opposite. It's just not possible to outsource being healthy, financially sensible, romantic or a good friend to someone else. If you're really struggling with one of those areas of life, it's worth it to work on fixing up your weaknesses rather than just further developing your strengths.
