Listening to this song, I often ponder what kind of person Carl Projectorinski must be. I understand he's fictional, but I imagine him to be an ordinary man that lives as he ought to, follows his instincts and happened to change the world too. He was the Human of the Year, after all.
What does it require to change the world? I mean, we technically all change it simply by our existence here. I've always believed I have the capability to change the world. Not in a simple existence kind of way, but in a way that will mean something when I'm no longer here.
Whatever it may be, I feel compelled to shift my thinking from a childish "I can change the world!" to a more adult mentality. I need begin acting on this notion. Maybe as a construction worker, the Easter Bunny (both actual childhood aspirations of mine), a physician assistant, a park ranger, a writer or maybe just as a really great friend.
I definitely still believe I can change the world (I say that knowing how terribly cliché it sounds), now I just need to figure out how.
