off the path

What advice is there for a person who constantly makes the choice to leave the path?
          Keep going?
          Straight ahead?

Because I know that where I should be & where I am are different. I know that I have turned the wrong way off a perfectly acceptable trail. And I think I know the way back. To safety. But I'm not sure if I can muster the energy it takes to lift my feet - first one, then the other - & make the right turn.

And I'm not sure I want to.
