You have free will. You also have a heavily programmed unconscious mind which attempts to do things whether you really want to or not.

Catch yourself eating a bag of Oreos without realizing? Taking a nap when you know you should be doing something else? You've trained your unconscious mind to desire those things and it WILL take work to rewire it and you will make "mistakes" along your journey as you try and change it.

Think of it like, in the case of this meme, your conscious mind trying to calm the mean unconscious in control, she might be mad and not listen now, over time she will come around and you can tell her to turn right instead of left, sometimes she might not listen, try again.
