Answer
Thank you for your question.
It is very special to hear about your belief in one G-d, and your sincere desire to come closer to Him and to do the right thing.
I would suggest studying the Seven Noahide Laws, which are the universal principles that G-d wants all of humanity to uphold. You can learn more about them here:
Netiv Center for Torah Study.
Wishing you much success.
