funktionslust

[sernin]

from aroraborealis -


The German word funktionslust refers to the pleasure of doing what one is made to do, or what one does best, as the pleasure of a bird flying, for example, or a cheetah running or a monkey swinging branch to branch.

What is your funktionslust? What pleases you in itself and as a thing that is essentially a part of who you are?

As I noted in her comments that many people asked her to name her own - I'll save you, gentle reader, from asking that.
I'll edit this post to add my ideas later.

Probably cooking is way up there for me (huge surprise, I am sure). I also greatly feel comfort when I am listening to music. When I used to waitress, that too combined elements of things I love - giving people good food, talking with people, and managing several tasks at once.
Not sure if these things are what you intend the question to be, but they are how I see the question. A good question indeed, and I look forward to reading your answers.
