This paints life too broadly I find. I do everything I can to change my "outlook" on life, but life itself is so much more than how one perceives it. Once you've reached a point where you've made every positive change you thought possible, and still simply can't do anything right, it becomes more than just perspective.

It sounds like you may benefit from changing your thoughts. “Can’t do anything right” is a very negative, and untrue, statement. “I do things right sometimes” or “it didn’t work this time, but that’s okay”. Reality check yourself and reward effort.

I’m a therapist and I absolutely love Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

We all live one life. It's up to you to make the most of it and make it meaningful to you. A lot of bad things happen but we just not focus on the negative. The more you think negatively, the harder it is to break that habit.
