Do you think putting yourself first is selfish?

Lately I've been thinking about what motivates me in life and contrary to what I've believed the entire time, it's not living in the service of others. Nothing motivates me more than doing things for myself (obviously not at the cost of others). But I don't want to live for other people, I want to live for myself. Sure, I'll help out people when I can but helping them is not my main motivation in life. However, I can't help but feel like a selfish asshole for being motivated by selfish desires.
P.S.: I'm not really considering kids in the equation, but I am considering other family.
