I don't want to give into these negative thoughts anymore

Lately, I've been feeling guilty for being an artist. Even though i've talked to consoles and people on the site, and i've read books on the subject , some how these thoughts always come back and make me feel worse. Am I selfish for wanting to be noticed for my art? I try rationalizing these thoughts by telling myself that being noticed isn't my only motivation (inspiration from others, wanting to be a part of a group to make something great) but because of the fact that I have a bit of self interest with my motivation, I feel selfish for it. I wish that I could just stop sabatoging my success and just draw again knowing that I'm improving and I'm getting closer to my goals without all of these thoughts buzzing in my head.
