While I fully understand he may not be the healthiest roll model, Raistlin Majere from 'DragonLance' had a goal throughout his rise that I have worked at.
His words: "I owe you nothing."
This isn't being unappreciative, but rather paying your debts. Both in the financial/tangible sense as well as emotional/supportive.
Another way to think of this would be Black Widow in the first 'Avengers' movie wanting to erase the red from her ledger.
I basically feel that I am the only one that I can truly rely on in this world. So if I need to make a decision that might not be beneficial for another party (not malicious mind you, I'm not a sociopath), I don't need to worry about my debts to that party in my decision making.
