If you’re over 20 or so, probably not. That’s just how your brain is hard wired now. You just need to find a way to be happy and have purpose despite your brain’s default. There’s lots of ways of doing that, but a lot of them basically amount to “Fake It Until You Make It”, or “As-If thinking.”
What would you like to enjoy doing? Do that. Find enjoyment in the act of doing it repeatedly, and then that becomes something you look forward to.
If that thing doesn’t work, try something else.
Some schools of Buddhism say; “Behavior becomes thought.” You can’t control what you think - your brain does what it does, and you can’t fix the machine with the machine itself.
But you can control what you do. By controlling what you do, eventually your thought falls in line, and then sometime later, feelings follow.
This is also sometimes called the ‘cognitive triangle’ in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:
If you aren’t old enough yet that your brain has ‘matured’, you can sometimes change your ‘wiring’. But after your brain has matured, it’s your brain. Then you have to figure out how to be happy with it as it is.
