The author and psychotherapist shares her journey of illness and recovery in this inspiring guide to living your life to the fullest.
In I Will Not Die an Unlived Life, Dawna Markova recounts her incredible journey from being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness to finding deeper meaning in her life. Along the way, she guides readers toward discovering their own sense of value and purpose. When we feel lost, Markova points out, we can either continue to live habitual lives and resign our strength—or we can choose to follow our passions.
Many of us have times of feeling stagnant and sapped of energy. Rather than judging these moments negatively, Dr. Markova reframes them as periods of rest for our passions. In doing so, she challenges us to slow down and stay in touch with ourselves. Poetic and inspiring, I Will Not Die an Unlived Life is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to live your life.

Quotes

    us swing wide all the doors and windows

    of our hearts on their rusty hinges

    so we may learn how to open in love.

    Let us see the light in the other and honor it

    so we may lift one another on our shoulders

    and carry each other along

    Let holiness move in us

    so we may pay attention to its small voice

    and give ourselves fully with both hands.

    What if we realized that instead of “things” getting better and better if we work harder and harder, that, like a seed, we will each in our own rhythm, go through endless cycles of gestation, birth, growth, death, and renewal?

    “Self-care is never a selfish act—it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others. Anytime we can listen to true self, and give it the care it requires, we do so not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.”
