I suppose the answer may be to just forget I am on the path and just remember to live it daily but -
If I complete a "good deed" I cannot help but think unconsciously after the fact (maybe long, long after the fact in some cases): "hey that was a good deed - score one to Service to Others" ... isn't that in itself "selfish" ?
I'm so glad to have found this forum.

It's about discovering who you are. If at the end of the day, you do things because of how they help you, that's service to self.
Service to others is about vibration, as opposed to pure action. If you're helping others because you want to make some sort of harvest as the primary reason, as opposed to just vibrating the love in your heart, you're not really going to polarize positively.
If you like doing things based on how it ultimately helps you, and you dedicate your life to ultimately doing things that help yourself, and that is who you truly are, that is service to self.
If you like doing things just because that is how you vibrate love, from the heart, to every other self, and that is who you are, that is service to others.
As you approach higher densities, the distinction between the self and others drops away, not based on mere knowledge, but experientially - the illusion of separation drops away, and thus the paths merge.
