I am gonna be the guy who puts up the Yngwie Video then. He has a good point here about "Earning it".
Whenever you hear anyone play and do it well. They've earned. You can't really fake being good. It doesn't take a great musician to recognize someone faking it badly. So stay focused on the goal and try to enjoy the journey as much as you can. Once you reach a spot where you are happier with your playing, it's something nobody can ever take from you. And something you can really be proud of. You can't buy it, can't steal it, can't lie/beg/borrow to get it, you have to earn it.
