I cannot save the world, that's not what I'm trying to do. I guess I'm just trying to walk the walk and be an example to those that want it.

Just don't let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y'know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don't let it consume you don't let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way.
