My life has far exceeded my expectations not because of my own personal efforts or mindset but because of my friends who have enriched my existence

John Paul Warren
About This Quote

The phrase “My life has far exceeded my expectations” has come to mean “I have found joy in life.” This quote is very common, but the meaning of the original sentence is much different. The author was not saying that his life had surpassed his expectations, which would be something like saying that he never expected to achieve anything good in life, but rather that he had done more than he ever dreamed possible.
