Acting Intentionally

An intentional act is something that a person does on purpose. It can be a physical action, like moving your arm, or saying something out loud. It’s different from an unintentional act, which happens by accident.

Princess Beatrice (affectionately known as Tilly) never had any intention of being confined to the palace. She was happy to have no claim to the throne, to be well down the line of succession. She was very aware of how much time her mother spent engaged in boring Royal duties.

Instead, Beatrice made her way each day to the Royal Stables. It took time to learn how to work with the horses but the head stable mistress taught her some basics and then told her it was a matter of daily practice and commitment. Beatrice took this advice seriously, set a firm intention and sought advice from leading Australian horsewoman, Gai Waterhouse.

Now, after years of daily workouts and time spent with the horses Beatrice spends her life as a renowned horse whisperer. She participates in Equestrian events, breeds horses for racing and has a wall of trophies that recognise her talent.

Judging by the response of her prized horse when she appears in the stables they think she is a true goddess.
