Meraki, a verb, or adverb, a Modern Greek word, derived from the Turkish “Merak” (Labor of love, to do something with pleasure), is applied to tasks, usually, creative or artistic tasks, but can be applied to any task at all.

Meraki means to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention.

This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe the soul, creativity or love you put into something; the essence of yourself you put into your work.

Meraki is to put your soul into something, to put a little bit of yourself into it, be it singing, dancing, or painting or anything else that you do.

It is what happens when you leave a piece of yourself (your soul, creativity, or love) in your work. When you love doing something, anything, so much that you put something of yourself into it.
