This article nicely juxtaposes two of my interests, training and photography. It’s not important to have the latest/greatest in training equipment, or even the environment. If you have the motivation, that is enough.

Laercio arrived to train and Mauricio fired a question at him. “What is the greatest conquest?”
Laercio looked at him without responding, so Mauricio answered his own question. “The control of your emotions,” he said.
Laercio never stopped looking at his mentor, who continued the questions.
“Who is your greatest adversary?”
More silence.
“We, ourselves,” responded Mauricio.
