The definition of selfish, concerned chiefly or only with yourself and your advantage to the exclusion of others, makes it very difficult to interpret it as a good thing. But there is another way of looking at being selfish.
If you are being selfish, you are listening to what you really want. You are aligning yourself with your source energy, which makes you tick. It is the current interpretation of selfishness that dictates that if you are being selfish, you harm others. But this is not true. Off course, you can harm others in the process, but that would be a result of a misaligned action with the wrong intention.
Through the eyes of the other your alignment could be explained as if you are intentionally harming them. It’s best not to be bothered with their attempt to get you of track. If your intentions give you a good feeling, or even a little better, then you are not harming others, but you are facing them with their misalignment. And it’s not your responsibility to get them on track.
As a result of your alignment you will experience the world as a much more joyfull place to be in. This will not go by unnoticed. The others, which earlier accused you of being harmfull, will be influenced by your more radient presence. This works as a katalyst for a shift in the emotional state of the others.
Being selfish is good as long as the intention is selfish.
