What do people mean when they say "Go with your strength."? Is it your skill with a technique, style or genre? Or are they talking about your ability to work through a project? That being said, why limit yourself to a specific strength of yours? After all animation is an ever expanding and evolving industry. If you are only working off of your strength you do not go into new territory and limit other areas where you need practice most.
This all boils down to self-efficacy you should think about what you are capable of doing, rather than what you are able to do! Also, self-efficacy will help throw out your ego, because you will focus more time on your work instead of showing off how good you are with one of your strengths.
This article really gets to me, I always stick to my strengths and as of that I think my work suffers a bit. I believe my strength is finding loopholes to make my work easier, due to that a lot of my shots look lazy! Experimenting is what really keeps you away from your strengths, trying to do something you have never done before really breaks you from sticking to what you are able to do.
