Getting There

I was conversing with a friend via text message and she asked me this:

Are you comfortable with who you are now? And if not, what are you trying to change? What do you think is the line between accepting who you are and working to become a better you?

I honestly had no response at first. I always thought I was comfortable with myself and then I hit a "mid-life crisis" and found myself questioning not only my future, but my existence even... However, I am back in my normal state of mind and I couldn't be happier. After a long thought process I responded to her question(s) with this:

I think that everyone should constantly attempt to become a better version of their present self. There should never be a point in life where you stop and say, “Well, I’m happy now so - this is how I’m going to live for the rest of my existence”. Am I comfortable with who I am now? Not fully - but I have years ahead of me to figure that out. But at this moment in my life - I know what I want. Getting there is what’s happening now.

How would you respond to said questions?
