There are conformist that were once dreamers; they most likely end up harboring regrets. The difference between a wise mind and a conformist is that a wise mind knows better. A wise mind is a dreamer that dreams then executes. A conformist just dreams. In order to acquire a life of contentment you must create it. There’s power in your self-fulfilling prophecy. Wise minds are aware that speaking prosperity into existence is important; they know to maintain an abundance of faith even through trials and tribulations. Conformists makes the choice of staying at a job they hate. Conformists allow themselves to be oppressed by fear.

Meet Jose Kercado, Jr, founder of the Wise Mind Movement established June 11^th, 2014. “I wanted to create something to put smiles on not only the average person’s face, but those that are also less fortunate,” Jose says, speaking of his purpose for starting the brand. “I got so tired of negative mindsets and seeing unhappy things.”

The ones who deserve the most support are the genuine souls that are seeking to add value to the world; Jose is an exquisite representation of this. In all honesty, this brand is a necessity to society. Remember when I mentioned that conformists choose to stay at a job even when they’re miserable in that particular environment? Well, when Jose was asked what keeps him encouraged to continue pursuing his passion, he stated “I believe in finding happiness in life and not being forced to work somewhere you don't like.” I couldn’t agree more. Jose is actually the definition of a wise mind; he doesn’t just speak on the importance of chasing a dream, he demonstrates it.

I find it impossible not to be inspired by such an ambitious individual who constantly promotes positivity and selflessness. Jose doesn't brag about all of the prodigious deeds he has done, so I will do that for him. I believe people like him need to be placed in the spotlight more often. Though he may face hurdles on his road to success, his determination finds a way to maneuver through them. Jose mentioned his mom as one of the factors that keeps him going: “My mother, she needs me now more than ever, It’s only right that I fight these obstacles to better her living.” I have no doubt he will accomplish that.

On Monday, May 2, 2016, Jose announced the brand’s first pop-up shop. The Wise Mind Movement pop-up shop will take place on June 15^th, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. I encourage everyone to show the support he undoubtedly deserves.

Jose defies odds, he doesn’t conform. Be like Jose and remember to stay wise.
