Your willpower compels you. It is not free because it motivates you rather than you motivating it.

And ultimately other external factors cause the willpower to have power.

I'm sorry, but it's not very clear what you mean. Let me try and see if I've got it:

- The part of people which compels them to a particular act is the willpower.
- Freedom would consist in people motivating their own willpower to a particular act, but...
- External factors (and not internal personal input) cause the willpower to have power.

Therefore: The willpower is not free.

Is that what you're saying?

Yes
