coberst,

Are you speaking of "will" in terms of Nietzsche's "will to power" ? What you appear to mean by "character development" is "having power over one's destiny". Your prescriptive usage of "must" and "need" also suggests nuances of your "will to power" over others, which is an important Nietzschean sub-category.

If you have not already done so, I would suggest you have a look at Nietzsche, bearing in mind his adoption by the Nazi "character development" advocates.
