What was it that made Hitler invade Russia in 1941?

I've heard many theorys, but I've never made sense of it. Did he think an attack from Stalin was imminent? Did he think his forces invincible?

I feel like this question gets asked quite a bit, though it's understandable. I remember wanting to know about that myself. /u/panzerkampfwagen gives a good answer, and they're the top post.
