No. No permitas QUE + subjunctive. Also I think your "aquello"s should be "lo"s, but I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say. "Don't let that which you are unable to prevent prevent you from doing that which you are able to do"? That would me "No permitas que lo que no puedas impedir impida que hagas lo que puedes."

If the idea is "don't let the things you cannot do impede you from doing what you actually can".

"Aquello" can be kept and the sentence can be said in several ways:

No permitas que aquello que no puedes hacer impida lo que sí puedes.
No permitas que aquello que no puedes impida lo que puedes.
No permitas que lo que no puedes impida lo que puedes.
