#LosVidados November 16

In November 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Human Condition Coach4aday Challenge. “Human conditions” can refer to the wide range of physical, mental, emotional, and social experiences that define our lives. Each day we will spotlight or describe those experiences. I am going to use this challenge to dive into a book called “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” written by John Koenig. It provides the readers words for feelings or human conditions we might be hard to describe.  My condition for today is LOS VIDADOS.

When I slip into a reflective state of mind, I’m often drawn back to the saying, “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” It’s that first part—“for a reason”—that may feel powerful in the moment, yet gradually fades with time. That fading intensity is closely tied to the idea captured in the term Los Vidados.

Human Condition-30 Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing something about a Human Condition during the month of November.

  1. Record or Describe a Human Condition. Try, if possible, to provide an example
  2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
  3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

If you need help in clarifying Human Conditions here are some examples

November 16-Los Vidados

Personally, I have several examples of half remembered acquaintances. The gentleman who lived in a neighborhood adjacent to Iowa State University who helped me navigate getting spare tire on a rental car. The girl in my HS Class that lived on Willow Spring Drive who hosted a great party my senior year while her parents were out of town. The guys who lived in the room across from me my freshman year in college. All examples of Los Vidados things I knew years ago but cannot today.

Coach4aday

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
