What Is Sin?

Something I neglect.

What Is Sin?
@mindartists

What is a sin? It's usually looked at as something a person does that is evil, wrong, or bad, but what if instead we looked at it not with judgements, but facts. The fact is a sin is S.I.N. Something I Neglected.

All actions we take are a result of what is in our subconscious mind. That which is in our subconscious mind does not get there over night, but over time, from built up momentum through repeated thoughts or circumstances in our environment. If we are not conscious and aware of our thoughts and feelings, and don't properly process our emotions, even things that may not seem so significant at the time, may build up negative momentum, resulting in S.I.N.

When something happens in our lives that causes us distress, or triggers us in any way, it is critical to fully process it and let it go, so it does not result in S.I.N.. If we do what we are comfortable with and accustomed to, we will naturally react as opposed to respond to what it around us, and will push those emotions back down only to resurface when we are triggered again. There is nothing to fear if we don't resolve S.I.N right away because those unresolved emotions will resurface in an attempt to be realized and released by us at a later point in time.

That being said, must we view S.I.N as wrong or negative? Could we choose to look at S.I.N as an opportunity to become more aware and release limiting thoughts and beliefs, and expand our consciousness for greater good? S.I.N is full of wonderful opportunities to observe and release what no longer serves us and become better than we were before.

By knowing what we do not want, or how we no longer wish to behave, we are given even more clarity of the person we want to be. With focus on that new found clarity of the person we want to be, the sky is not the limit. The universe is the limit, and the universe is limitless.

Don't use this as an excuse to be okay with everything we do that we think is S.I.N.. We can use this awareness as a way to improve ourselves and not beat ourselves up about the things we neglected to process fully.

Mindartists tip: Try to be aware of our feeling this week, and if we become irritated or upset, see if we can let it go and detach ourselves from the event or circumstance before we neglect those emotions and react in a way we'll regret.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
