Robin, I might translate what you want as= [i mi djica lo nu bevri do .ijeku'i mi ba'o kakne lo nu cadzu]

(or with attitudinals, which seem more natural in conversation, as [i = au bevri do .ijeku'i e'enai cadzu])

mu'= ;o mi'e la tan

From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/willing

Adjective

willing (comparative more willing, superlative most willing)

Ready to do something that is not (can'= ;t be expected as) a matter of co= urse.
If my boyfriend isn't willing to change = his drinking habits, I will split up with him.

There's also a noun and verb definition, but they don't s= eem to be applicable to this.
