meraki (μεράκι) /meh-RAH-kee/ n.

A modern Greek word describing the soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that you infuse into any activity or pursuit.

For example, it describes the feeling when a song overtakes you emotionally and moves you to dance, sing, or express yourself fully. It represents doing anything with passion, from the heart, and with absolute devotion—whether it's work, art, cooking, or any other activity.

"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river of joy moving in you."

— Rumi
