Hi!
Wow, great discussion! Once again, I have a complicated answer that I can barely understand myself.
If you focus on what you want, and work to get it, it is likely that you will get it. And if it makes you focused on your happiness, it is all the better. But of course, you can't ALWAYS get what you want. It doesn't work like that. But going for what you want doesn't nessicarily (sp?) make you selfish. in fact, its proably a good thing, having something to work forward to.
Have a great day.
