Tatendrang
A quick image search for "Tatendrang" gives us this personification of zest for action:
Ever wake up one morning with the uncontrollable urge to get something done; run a marathon, climb a mountain or write a novel? In German, this basic drive to accomplish a task is called "Tatendrang" or literally "action urge."I think I prefer the Google translation of Tatendrang: "Zest for action".

I wake up every morning with an uncontrollable urge! Fortunately for my wife, viewing that photo you included causes the urge to cease...
Oh, that's priceless, Bubs! Right now, my personal Tatendrang tends toward snow shoveling, wood carrying and taking snapshots between bouts of soup-and-bread-making. I'm actually ready for a little rest.
That word is being used on a day to day basis. There are lots of cool words in German. Here are some to consider for the next few post
Sehenswuerdigkeiten
Arbeitsmoral
Austellungsstueck
Betaeubungsmittelverscheibungsverordnung
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
Beautiful. And that picture. Zoiks!
I'm so using that word for evil and not good.
I don't know this word. I am a bad German. Or possibly, just don't have many urges.
