Triumph after disappointment

I have just missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime, it was more than just a job, it was to be a home, a new start, a bigger house and freedom.
I won't go into the finer details as it doesn't really matter but it was my fault as at the interview stage I misread the brief and just didn't nail it although I was a finalist.
I feel devastated and worst of all I feel I'm the one to blame which is even harder. I keep thinking'if only' if only I hadn't said that or if only I researched that more.
I'm really suffering and keep getting flash backs of the interview.
Can anyone give me some wise words of advice? Or even better, what was the biggest disappointment in your life that you turned positive

Replace the "if only" with "next time" is the only way to treat this. You will do better next time (and there will be a next time, even if it looks a bit different).
