This has to be one of the best (and my most favorite) TED Talks that I’ve seen! Retired colonel Chris Hadfield is most well-known for chronicling his life aboard the space station and sharing pictures of earth through social media, allowing us to connect with space in a way that we might not have ever been able to. He talks here about the idea of fear, and how by overcoming it, we’re able to go places we might have never dreamed of.

| “You can fundamentally change your reaction to things so that it allows you to go places and see things and do things that otherwise would be completely denied to you.”
