1. Of course it’s all going to work out.

There’s a phrase I say more often than I’d like to admit.

"Of course."

Not the hopeful kind. The sarcastic kind. The flight gets delayed. Of course. The package arrives damaged. Of course. It rains on the one day I planned something outside after a week of sunshine. Of course.

My fiancée laughs because she knows it’s coming. It became our running joke. But eventually I realized that little phrase carries more weight than I thought. It assumes life is against me. And every time I expect the worst, I rehearse it. I borrow stress from a future that hasn’t happened yet.

We rarely do the opposite. We don’t lie awake imagining the smooth flight, the great conversation, the unexpected opportunity.

So recently we started interrupting each other. Instead of, "Of course this is going to go wrong," we say, "Of course it’s going to work out."

Life will always contain disappointment. Flights get delayed. Plans fall apart. People let us down. But unpredictability works both ways.

The future contains miracles too. Chance encounters. Unexpected opportunities. New beginnings disguised as endings.

So these days, when I catch myself saying, "Of course this would happen to me," I stop and flip it.

Of course I’ll figure it out.

Of course today will surprise me.

Of course life is capable of working in my favor.

I’m going to spend my imagination visiting the future, I’d rather spend it somewhere I’d actually like to go.

2. How to start an upward spiral

Upward spirals begin with one simple sentence: “I’m grateful for how this worked out.”

There is no stronger magnet than someone who has already decided everything is going to work out.

Say “I’m grateful for how this worked out” while you're waiting for the text. Say it while the bank account is low. Say it while life feels like a mess.

Your words are an address. Give yourself somewhere beautiful to go.

Your nervous system believes the tense you use. "I'm grateful this all worked out" replaces waiting with expectation.

Claim your future. The universe responds differently to someone who says "I hope" than someone who says "thank you." Speak like it's already yours.

3. Manifestation hack…

Thank the universe for the parking spot before you leave the house.

The Language of Optimism

If you work for a company/organization and you’re interested in bringing “the language of optimism” to your team, visit this page. I’ve taught the science and soul of optimism for organizations like Nespresso, Meta, Chase, Microsoft, and Mattel and would love to bring it to your company.

One day…

One day you'll feel pulled toward a city you've never lived in, a career you've never had, or a life no one else understands. It's very important to trust that pull.

Trust the process…

The theme for the rest of the year is full-circle moments. Everything that fell apart was just clearing space for something wildly better.

My name is Case. I’m passionate about the language of optimism.
