When forming a parallel construction such as this, it is important to include all the words necessary to make the parallelism work properly. As you note, “outlook” and “reality,” require two different prepositions, those prepositions need to be included in the paralleled structures. Let’s do it! What else will I have to do? Interestingly, the prepositions do make the sentence look at least a little bit awkward, so it is probably worth your while to search around a bit for alternative words that use matching prepositions, or to change the sentence to eliminate the parallel construction.
