My wife is a professional artist who actually doesn't like it when people go on about how talented she is. I used to not get it, but now I do.
It feels like it sort of diminishes all of the hard work one puts in developing a skill. So now I say, "Wow! That is really skillful work!"
Yes, I've heard the same sentiment expressed in various YouTube videos. I've spent a bit of time researchng "success" now. The solution is a "bitter" pill that not many (99%) people find palatable.
But, what my research also turned up is, we are hardwired to take the easiest route possible. It is a law of nature to conserve energy. However, "success" can be given to those who exceed that law. They might fail miserably, or even die, but those who do succeed, reap greater rewards.
All of that being said, there is the flipside to endless striving and falling into the trap of the pursuite of perfection.

We are always a work in progress.
