"One's lesser talents might lead to success in craft or business, but then one might never find out what one's more playful capacities might have been."-Gary Snyder

One thing I found really interesting in the Enchiridion is where it said that if you, "confine your aversion to those objects only which are contrary to the natural use of your faculties, which you have in your own control, you will never incur anything to which you are averse."  This doesn't relate perfectly, but reading this made me think of something I have heard many times before, which is that in order to live up to your full potential you should not focus on trying to fix things you're bad at, but instead focus on what you're good at.  For example, say you're terrible at math but you're an amazing artist.  You shouldn't try to get an A in your math class because by doing that you'll expend all your energy on something that you can probably become mediocre at at best.  Instead you should put all of your energy into you art, because if you do that you can accomplish really amazing things.  This also reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by the poet and environmental activist Gary Snyder:

"One's lesser talents might lead to success in craft or business, but then one might never find out what one's more playful capacities might have been."

This quote has really affected me, and kind of relates to what I was just talking about, but would relate even more if you thought of it like this: "One's lesser talents might lead to success in something one doesn't care about and isn't that great at, but then one might never find out what one's natural, passion-fed capacities might have been."  That's kind of the same idea, I think.  So basically just do what you like to do.

Going back to the Enchiridion, I don't necessarily think you should "confine your aversion to those objects only which are to the natural use of your faculties, which you have in your own control," because there are certain cases where I think you should show your aversion to things that don't seem to be in your control.  For example, though you yourself might not have the ability to get rid of a corrupt ruler, by expressing your aversion to this ruler you might end up contributing to a larger group of people who can collectively get rid of this ruler.
