It all reminds me a bit of the long-standing debate over being a "specialist" vs. being a "generalist." When you try to do some of everything, you rarely become a top performer or a success in anything.
I can't honestly pass judgment on whether or not that is a "bad" thing or a "good" thing...
Don't worry mate. And never regret being a generalist. Because being a generalist means having freedom of choice. Which in turn makes life a bit more pleasant. While being a specialist, it's probably the surest path to boredom sooner or later.
In fact, there is not such thing as the path of least resistance, because life always becomes very difficult along the way anyway.
