If you want to clarify for yourself your values, ideals, and worldview, what kind of God you believe in, or do not believe in, what type of person you are, then the best way is to pay attention to your actions and decisions. Your thoughts are not that interesting. Actions speak louder than words.
Examine your decisions, your choices of path in life. Did you stay or did you go? Did you choose money over love? Did you think that it is better to be safe than sorry? Was your career more important to you than friendship? Did you work too much? Did you choose to go that extra mile and to be on your toes, or did you resign to find a less demanding job that gave you more time with your friends and family?
Are you a churchgoing Christian who stores up for yourself treasures on earth instead of in heaven? Are you a realist, after all?
Are you a hypocrite? Are you a pretender?
Examine your actions. Do you abhor modern factory farming, but don't want to pay for organic? Are you a miser? Do you prefer escape or to grasp the nettle?
Self-exploration may be beneficial, but I don't care. I don't care whether my values and beliefs align with my actions. And I will certainly not try to change them.
