Action decisions are always yours to make. The question of whether someone wants you to do something is relevant, but the decision to proceed or not is solely yours.
Sometimes we ask ourselves what does our signifant other or leader or key stakeholders expect. Meeting expectations can be very fullfilling both for you and the person whose expectations you are addressing, but is it what you want to do.
You are in Charge
Whether the initial motivation to act originates internally (within yourself) or externally ( from others) you should never do anything that does not going to satisfy you.
That is not to say acting to the benefit of other (altruistic) behaviour is not the best thing to do but the underlying motivation, to ensure best results, has to be your own.
Deciding to act solely on the request and expectation of others rarely leads to the best outcomes. Not to say the obvious objective, what the other person wanted, will not be accomplished, it might.
However, doing something that is not what you wanted to do will have a negative impact on your psyche, maybe not readily apparent or immediate, but it will be there and over time personal resentment could peak out its ugly head.
Do or do not, you choose
Whatever decisions you make, the most important advise to heed is your own. You may decide to proceed or not, whatever option as long as it was your own selection all will be good.
