One's outlook on life

Hello,

Doesn't "outlook" usually refer to the future? "Despite our differences in outlook, we got along very well" - They probably thought the future held completely different things for them, or something like that. Most dictionaries define "outlook" as "a general attitude toward something", but I am not entirely sure that's the case.
