Be a Lighthouse in the Storm
Are you feeling overwhelmed right now? Thoughts and emotions only have power over you if you let them
When life seems overwhelming, think — what’s the worst that could happen, and how likely is it to happen to me? When you’re honest with yourself, you’ll realize that most of the things you’ve ever worried about never occurred.
A few years ago, while vacationing in Oregon with my family, I discovered a picture that, for me, perfectly represents the idea of standing firm in the face of adversity. I later learned that the image is the most famous lighthouse photograph in the world.
The lighthouse keeper is Théodore Malgorne, and the image, ‘Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument, ‘which means ‘Lighthouse in a Storm, at la Jument,’ forms part of a series taken in 1989 by photographer Jean Guichard
The small framed print on sale in the Oregon art gallery was a bit pricey, so I decided to search online to see if I could find a less expensive version.
