Where does your personal morality derive from?

I have trouble thinking about an omnipotent individual, so I have focused on a theory of utilitarianism. What actions I take and see as the most moral at the moment as it's coming given all other possibilities, within “reason”.

“Utility: That property in any object, whereby it tends to produce benefit, advantage, pleasure, good, or happiness ... [or] to prevent the happening of mischief, pain, evil, or unhappiness to the party whose interest is considered.”

Often from what leads to the kind of world I want to live in. Thinking "what if everyone did that" isn't perfect but helps avoid some of the worst outcomes of mob behavior. Also, avoid creating negative states in my mind and the minds of others. It's a deep topic. Glad you asked.
