Free will is not the liberty to do whatever one likes, but the power of doing whatever one sees ought to be done, even in the very face of otherwise overwhelming impulse--George MacDonald

There are certain things we cannot do whether they are restricted by law, are moral issues, or are safety concerns. We may know this now, but in the past this fact may have meant little to us. We may have driven drunk, beaten partners, or abused our children.

Free will doesn't mean we can do anything we please. Free will means doing things like changing bad tempers, drinking habits, or unacceptable behaviours. With free will, we have the choice to make changes, even though they may be difficult.

NOthing is impossible if it is within our control. We can use free will to opt for change and improvement. With free will, we can choose when and how we will change. If we choose, we can begin today.

Are there changes or improvements I can make in my life? Help me know I'm free to change these things whenever I'm ready.

Don't know about anyone else, but I have a list a mile long of changes I'd like to see in my behaviours and reactions. I believe I'll be working on them forever, one day at a time. Wren
