No, that doesn't mean that your will is more free.  By saying "I have decided
to want" you necessarily imply that you want to want.  A decision is necessarily 
made by  a desire.  No matter what how you change your desires, you are still
bound to wanting to change them.  You can never free the shackle of desire.
