Doniphan Stone
I live to see others succeed, and I want to invite you into that same journey of growth and transformation. When I began writing this book, my goal was to help people like you achieve their aspirations, drawing from over a decade of personal experience working with hundreds of health and fitness clients. Along the way, I realized that external success alone isn’t enough—real, lasting change happens when we address the internal barriers that often hold us back from experiencing joy in all areas of life. That’s why I’ve developed tools that guide you toward aligning your inner self with your outward goals, taking you beyond just self-awareness and into meaningful action. My own life has been shaped by overcoming challenges like battling cancer, earning a black belt, playing collegiate soccer, doing mission work, obtaining fitness patents, and building successful businesses. Yet, through all of this, I've learned that while reaching goals can feel rewarding, true fulfillment comes from personal growth and the deep connections we make along the way. My faith and background in inner healing—through seminary education, certifications, and mentorship—have deeply influenced my approach, and I believe these tools can help you pursue true greatness, both in the present and for your future.

When Doniphan invited me to co-author this book, I felt honored, as we have seen real and meaningful results through the practices we share in these pages, strengthening both our relationship and these ideas. Over the years, these practices have developed through reflection, guidance, and wisdom imparted by mentors in my life, especially from the fathers and mothers who nurtured me. My work with small groups and individuals, particularly during a decade of starting home-based churches, allowed me to refine these practices alongside others in a community of support. Additionally, my experience as a leadership coach working with people worldwide taught me to listen deeply and help individuals discover their own direction. These practices were further tested and validated through my doctoral research, strengthening my conviction in their importance. Beyond ministry, I’ve integrated these practices into every aspect of my life—as a yoga instructor, personal trainer, long-distance runner, professor, mentor, and father. It is a joy to now share this process with you.
