Imagine you are walking along the seashore and to your amazement you find a genie in a bottle. He is no ordinary genie and because he's so grateful that you've found him, offers you just one wish - "if you could have more of any one thing in the world that you already possess, what would you wish for?"

Lomar P.
Rory was a tremendous help to me in offering me counsel on some work-related issues. He listened and helped me put various situations into the right perspective which allowed me to look at the problem with a different mindset. He helped me utilize a growth mindset that challenged me to look within myself and identify potential shortcomings that inhibited my ability to grow and stretch. By acknowledging some of the ways I viewed issues and working through solutions I was able to overcome many hurdles with my communication style and also functioned better at work and with my team. He’s got a great approach and is very easy to talk to and he’s able to help you see issues clearly and helps you with your “Aha” moment.
Anna M.
Working with Rory was an all-around great experience. The first time we spoke I was in a similar situation as a lot of young people; down on my luck with a sort of hopeless resignation in regards to my career path. He was able to offer me a few pieces of advice that I used to my immense benefit and still use to this day. His zen nature and wealth of life experience are what sets him apart.

"Limitations are like curtains, not walls. They flutter in the wind so that you can look beyond them and see the other side, that you would desire to push them aside in order to achieve great things." Rory Mitchell
My greatest desire is to help others achieve the very best that life has to offer. I've spent most of my life on the path of self-improvement and I'm always improving myself while discerning how best to create value and serve my community. I am thankful for the many people, experiences, successes, failures, and unrealized dreams that have made me the person I am today. Life has taught me that I have immense capacity to learn and grow from any situation and I believe that to be true for everyone as well.
As a Life Coach, I help my clients find the inspiration and clarity they need to achieve powerful results. All my clients are dedicated successful people who want more. Some of our work together involves setting and achieving career and life goals; examining biases and choosing alternate perspectives; improving personal and interpersonal relationships, and navigating challenging life situations. What is your story and what do you want more of? I look forward to our sessions together.

We often say thank you to others for their kind gestures but rarely, if ever, do the same to ourselves - for thinking good thoughts, saying nice things, or doing something good. Thanking yourself is a kind of therapy. It can serve as a reminder to yourself of your innate goodness. It can be a motivator after doing something good to be your better self. It's also a reminder to the world as it looks on, that you have a lot to offer and it wants some of what you have. We get caught up in the mundane, lost in trying to please everyone else but ourselves. As you go about your day, doing what you do best, think of the good things you've done, and don't forget to thank yourself. You deserve it.
The way we see things can be different from reality when we look through the lens of unchecked beliefs. Every belief we have is a connected to a memory of the past. New tidbits of information are associated with a picture and an emotion in our memory.
Unchecked, these help to strengthen our biases and may lead us away from the truth about reality. Your truth however remains intact, because it's the way we you see things. There are billions of people in the world, each with their own biases and perspectives on the world, so no one person is right. But we can all agree on the facts.
One of the ways I see to check and begin to correct biases is to start by questioning the things we are passionate about, especially those which give rise to 'negative' reactions. Fake news has been around for a long time, but has now become a thing that we have to grapple with.
The downside is that it can be very destructive. But, it certainly does create a significant opportunity - fact checking. There has been a big outward focus on fact checking others such as public officials. I think however that the greatest opportunity and benefit will come through examining our own facts about reality.
Recurring themes? Listen carefully, don't ignore them. These similar experiences usually end up with predictable outcomes often causing pain, disappointment, frustration, anger, resentment. They might appear to you as a series of unfortunate events or just bad luck - unfruitful relationships, bad bosses, dead beat dads, recurring illness and abuse are some examples. The tendency, when we try to make sense of these occurrences might be to point the finger outwards at the perpetrator if one exists. And chances are you haven't been paying close attention to the other elephant in the room - you. There's nothing wrong with you per se. Just opportunities to help us optimize our perception of reality in our thoughts. Being able to see the other side of the coin, in my experience, usually helps me to have a different interpretation of reality. These recurring themes might just be asking you to do the same.
Always have confidence in your ability to find your own answers to your own problems. It is always within reach, in your mind but you must first let go of what your holding to and make room for a spark of wisdom to ignite within. Then start asking yourself good questions and see what happens. We don't always trust ourselves because we tend to rely on experts. What if you are the only expert you need?
Everyone passes judgement about everyone and everything they encounter. Like it or not, it is so. And the harder you try not to, the more judgmental you are. What do you say of yourself as you see your reflection in the mirror? What do you think before the game, or the meeting, before giving that presentation? Whenever I ask my dad how he's doing, he always says that he's at his best. The reality of it is that this is true for him, for me, for you. You're always at your best regardless of your circumstance. It could be better but at this moment, it's your best. So be nice to yourself for a change, it will make your world a different place.
The difference between a good day and a bad day is way you are thinking about of it. Yes it's true that bad things can happen at any time to throw you off your game, but it's the thought of the bad thing that you hold on to that keeps you down. Pay close attention to what's going on in you, how one thought makes you feel over the other, how when you're happy, you're not sad, etc. So find a happy thought and hold on to it if you must and see how much better your day becomes. One more thing. Instead of pursuing happiness, pursue reason. Cheers!
At times, minding your own business might be the best way to move forward. Don't let the years pass you by worrying about what others think, feel, or say about you. Don't live miserably here, waiting to die and go to heaven when you were sent here for a reason. Perhaps heaven is right here and it is calling upon you to live life to its fullest, and not die. And that hell is what you're going through trying to conform to what everyone else is saying you should be. Be the best you can be. Love the life you live. Be you - no substitutions!
It's undeniable that there has been a lot going on lately. We've had a year of uncertainty, fear, and unprecedented change all happening at the same time. We've had to deal with more stress than ever before it seems. In years past, as it approached the new year I used to think about resolutions - how many I've made or kept. Was it worth it?
This year, with several new strains of the Corona virus, anticipation of vaccines that work, what's happening with the outgoing and incoming presidents, the passing of another stimulus package, and whatever else, I think the resolve of many is just to stay alive.
Now, perhaps, more than ever is the best time to stay focused. But on what? You probably are feeling that you already have your hands full. But it's not the economy, nor the virus, nor the partisan bickering, or the many other things happening that I'm suggesting that you focus on. These are very important, yes, but continued focus on these things will likely lead to more stress.
So, by staying focused I mean, turn your attention to you and your thoughts. What are you thinking? Is that thought evoking a good feeling or a bad one? Am I reacting positively or negatively towards … as a result of? Am I reacting negatively because I did not get what I expected? Everything outside of us is trying to tell us something about our thoughts which for the most part creates our reality.
I've often heard that, the solution to a problem is in the problem. If that is true, and I think it is, then the starting point to staying focused is not looking at the problem. The starting point is to look at the other side of the coin and see the opportunity. I hope this helps.
I've spent most of my life living someone else's dream
Trying desperately to fit in with the crowd
Hoping to be accepted by the cool kids
Wanting to be loved by everyone around me
So I pretended
To be something that I am not
An illusion that caused me sleepless nights
God knows I tried but I still could not fit in
Here it comes again, that feeling of being dejected
Rejected because the life I was living had mostly been a lie
Here's one more thing he said to me
"Taking this pill it will set you free, or you can stop pretending. Be!"
