Have you heard of “なるようになる“? You can use it instead of “Que Sera, Sera”!
Is is a phrase which means “What will be, will be“. It is used to encourage someone when they are worried about what will happen in the future and when you want to say that they don’t need to worry too much about it, and that things should go with the flow. You can also use this expression for yourself.
“成り行き(or流れ)に任せる“ is a synonym for “なるようになる“. It exactly means “to go with the flow“.
Meg is planning to work abroad next year.
- Amy: ロサンゼルスに転勤する事、もう彼氏に話したの？
Have you already talked to your boyfriend about being transferred to the Los Angeles branch? - Meg: まだ。昨日話そうと思ったんだけど、突然結婚の話が出たから、言えなかった。アメリカに引っ越したら、(私達の関係は)終わるかもしれない。そんな事が、頭をよぎった(*)。
Not yet. I was supposed to talk to him last night, but I couldn't because he suddenly mentioned marriage. If I moved to the States, our relationship might be over. This crossed my mind! - Amy: そっか。海外で働くのを諦めるの？
I see. Are you going to give up on working abroad? - Meg: ううん、やっとつかんだチャンスだもん。彼に話さなきゃ。
No, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. So I have to tell him about it. - Amy: (彼に)話す前から、落ち込まないで。なるようになるよ。
Don’t be down before you talk to him. What will be, will be. - Meg: ありがとう。なるようになるよね。
Thanks. I'll go with the flow.

Do you have any idea where to go out tonight? - Leo: あっ、今日金曜だ！どこも、人でいっぱいだね。
Oh, it’s Friday! It must be full of people everywhere we go. - Ken: そうだね。まぁ、成り行きに任せて、駅の方まで行こうよ！どこか、空いているでしょ。
Right. Hmm...Anyway, let’s play it by ear and go to the station! I hope we can find somewhere to drink.
Ken and Leo are worried about whether their clients approve their proposal for the new project.
- Ken: いつクライアントが提案の結果を連絡してくれるか、知っている？
Do you know when our clients will tell us about the result of the proposal? - Leo: たしか今日だけど、まだ(連絡は)こない。
They are supposed to give it today, but they haven't contacted us yet. - Ken: 了解。んー、俺達(は)やれる事は全部やったよね？
All right. Um...We’ve done everything we could, right? - Leo: うん。なるようになるって！
Right. Everything is going to be ok!
