The Spirit of the Goodwill band.  These people will rock your world. If these people with severe disabilities can do it ... SO CAN YOU!  Music makes a difference.  

I watched the documentary entitled “For Once In My Life” on Netflix.  Their description of the film simply caught my attention.  You don’t see the word “INSPIRING” very often.  On this point the film does not disappoint!  Netflix describes it like this, “This inspiring documentary about overcoming the odds showcases the Spirit of Goodwill Band, an eclectic and talented ensemble comprised of musicians who suffer from a variety of physical and mental disabilities. As the band rehearses for an important upcoming concert, the members reveal not only their amazing musical chops, but also their stirring joie de vivre in the face of difficult personal challenges.”

So, the next time that you or I set a goal only to decide that it’s too hard, that its beyond our reach, then it’s time we listen to these people,  its time to watch this great film one more time.  You will be inspired to carry on with your struggle because whatever it may be, it surely will pale when compared to what these wonderful people deal with 24/7.   Watch this and you will make a stronger effort to Get Where You’re Goaling.  After all, if THEY can do it so can you!
