This. I think if you picture the ball hitting the back of the cup rather than dribbling it over the lip, this will give you more of a committed stroke.
Miss right most of the time. I think I'm not aiming correctly. The wife said that she has noticed I'm not aiming at the hole. It feels like I am though.
I'm left handed but play right handed. I'm thinking that this isn';t helping and my dominant eye, which ever it is, is screwing things up for me. As I say, it appears to me as though I'm aiming correctly
I'm left eye dominant, if that matters!
My advice is to play ‘most likely score’ and just pick it up.
Interesting, I’m left handed at writing , snooker, sawing , planing ( I’m a joiner) but I play golf right handed , tennis , throwing , hammer . I’m a bit messed up
. 
But what I do is probably the opposite. I start with long putts to get the pace of the greens. Then I finish off with the smaller putts to get confident with the short stuff. But it works for me.
What style of putter do you have, does it have an alignment line on it?
Sounds like you need to use an alignment line on the ball if you don't already. Line it up from behind the line of the putt, with the line on the ball pointing where you want it to go. Then when you address the ball stick to that line no matter what.
I'm with you on the shorter stroke, a long stroke sees you decelerate into the ball. As someone else observed, if the putter has an alignement mark, make sure that you are hitting this spot precisely.
