Bible Question (short): What happens when you refuse God?

Question (full): We know God has a plan for each of us. When He reveals His plan, and we choose another way, another choice in life and we turn away from his initial plan, ie. God says " you are to go to....", and we refuse to go, what do we do, what happens when we refuse and we know that by refusing we've chosen to bypass what could have been a life changing experience, or a complete life changing way of life, i.e. ministry etc. What happens when we step outside of His Will, His plan that He laid out for us?
In 1997, God told me to go to another country. I refused to go. I now live outside of God's original plan for me and feel I've completely missed out. My life could have been so different if I'd have listened to HIm and obeyed.
