This happened to me and I learnt from it. Regardless of how objectively good your work is you need to remember that you're part of a team, and that means learning to fit in with the team while helping push it forward. You also need to remember that you might be in the wrong team, whether or not your work or your colleagues work is of a high standard or not. Both can be true but there is no "I just keep doing my thing" option here that has a good outcome. If anything, I'd say the message from your colleague is a good thing, someone wants you to succeed.
