Nice japanese / okinawan term. Wiktionary
Etymology
https://exploringyourmind.com/nankuruna ... verything/Borrowed from Okinawan なんくるないさ. Literally, "things will sort themselves out". In standard Japanese: なんとかなるさ (nantoka naru sa). Compound of なんくる (nankuru, “in that way”) + 成い (nai, stem of 成いん (nain, “become”)) + さ (sa, “emphatic”). Interjection なんくるないさ • (nankuru nai sa) (Okinawa) Don’t worry, it’ll be all right.
This is what the word “Nankurunaisa” invites us to do: to accept the wisdom of time. To understand that if we persevere, time itself will sort things out. We just have to let things flow and add a bit of trust to what we do.
Or as Bob Marley sang : "Everything's Gonna Be Alright"
