You need to focus on the mistakes, not the good parts.
What practise is, is looking for what makes your playing bad, and correcting it.
To be the best at guitar, you need to be as efficient as possible, no extra tension in your muscles, no unneccessary hand movements, and a good muscle memory and mental image of all the notes on the fretboard.
I would NOT use that advice you were given, if you promote mediocrity you will remain mediocre. Instead of trying to convince yourself you are good, seek and destroy your problems! You will actually improve then.
YES focus on the mistakes, YES try to fix them. NO, don't convince yourself you are good when you know you aren't as good as you could be. NO don't think emotionally about how you are bad and everyone else is so good and jealousy and envy consume your soul and make ytou want to quit guitar.
I strongly recommend Mike's E-Mail newsletter, has really helped me improve lately, and he has some great videos about certain techniques too
