The first factor is the knowledge that more than one option exists. Second is the sense of a personal right and ability to choose one thing over another. Third is the perception that one thing is preferable to another. Fourth is the impression that making a choice is the only possible escape from letting ones entire life be a matter of fate.
Is that enough?

The fact that we have made choices in the past & whether it was a good choice or a bad one, payed attention to what happened b/c of our choice. Taking the lesson from this and applying it to our lives helping make better or more educated choices b/c of experience...makes choices easier in our lives b/c if you've 'lived & learned' something, you will know a little more about what can happen to us b/c of our choices. Think of all possible outcomes & even if it seems hard to do, if it's the right thing,.. do it anyway. The right thing isn't always the easiest thing for us to do.

from a freudian perspective it would be our unconscious drives and unresolved conflicts based on the past and in some cases our conscious drives based on the present/here and now
