I think that you've already started the process by realizing the situation in the first place. We all have the ability to examine ourselves and affect change. It isn't an easy process though.
I think the first thing you may want to discover, is the person you want to be. What sort of qualities do you want to have as a part of yourself? Once you have that figured out, pick one and immerse yourself in it, educate yourself about it and seek out people who have that quality, repeat until you are happy with the results. Then you can move on to the next thing.
Re-evaluating one's own beliefs and actions isn't easy. It is far easier to cling to what one has always believed instead of giving up the security of the familiar to explore new ways of thinking and being.
At first it will almost certainly be overwhelming and quite frightening leaving an established comfort zone, but I think that its worth it to prevent a stinking stagnation of the mind.
Jin- I know what its like to go from being very religious to being an atheist, it can be quite overwhelming at first... if you need to talk or vent, feel free to PM me. Sometimes it helps to have some one who's been through the process to lend an empathetic ear.
