Is this really how life is meant to be?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I wouldn’t call myself a very practicing Muslim. Sometimes I manage to pray, other times my job gets in the way or I simply forget. I want to improve my deen, but it feels like maybe Allah is not happy with me. There was a phase when I used to pray all five salah plus Tahajjud, but after facing some tough times and sudden trials, I drifted away. I couldn’t even bring myself to touch the Quran or pray. Now I’m struggling to return to prayer, the Quran, and Allah, but it’s not working out. It seems like my life has been on a downward spiral since day one. Every day feels heavy and pointless, yet when I look back years later, I wish I could relive that same day because today is even worse. My parents went through a divorce, my businesses failed one after another, I couldn’t go overseas for my education, and I’m stuck in a job that gives me constant stress and zero satisfaction. I always dreamed of running my own business, but it never took off. Meanwhile, I see people who don’t practice Islam, engaging in haram like drinking, zina, cheating, and lying, yet they seem to get everything handed to them. I, on the other hand, try to avoid sins and still can’t even attract a single customer to my business. I truly need your advice, brothers and sisters. What helped you reach the point you’re at in life? What am I doing wrong?
