Looking back, I think I might be a bit of a better person, but it seems I have so much more to go.

In hind sight, I think the key to “self-change” is this: The Sermon on the Mount.
Simple as it sounds, it’s not. If I understand your comments, I think you’re talking about getting down the road a good deal closer to our Saviour. My own experience suggests that the “Beatitudes” must be taken to heart and deeply focused on in life and in prayer. Especially prayer.
As I did this I had quite a life changing experience and as a result I “know” God’s love. Sounds corny I know, but it goes much further than just, “He loves me”, it goes hand in hand with “He also loves everyone else the same way”.
Later 1JN 4:20 hit me with a deep understanding: If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
At this point I can’t help but see the love of God intertwined in the scriptures and they are,… um, well, alive to me.
Anyway, you reminded me of my experience so I thought I’d share.
…and since it’s been a while, how’s it going?
