Free will - ability to make independant choices without taking any action. It is based on one's knowledge and their attempt to predict results of those choices. Determination - ability to overcome obstacles and setbacks without wondering about consequences. Perseverance is very similar. Free will allows to choose the path, while determination allows to follow it. The first is about choosing, while the second is about acting.
