The problem comes when you dedicate yourself to just one of those, and discover that you have enough talent to enjoy it but not enough to live off of it. You then would have spent a significant amount of time to learn that your chosen path won't work.

I'd recommend doing them all, in small slices, with specific goals to determine if you have the talent to take it farther. Knock hobbies off the list if you don't hit your goals, and whittle it down to the one where you truly have the most talent.
