Worshipping and doing good for the sake of salvation and/or for the sake of pleasing Allah?

Salam Alaykum. I've been reading about living and acting for the sake of pleasing Allah. I definitely understand why that's important and have been getting into the mindset whenever I can remember. My issue is, I initially reverted for ultimate salvation (Jannah) as well as Allah's blessings in the dunya. I realize that the second reason is unwise but that is for another question in the future Insha'Allah. My issue is, occasionally, I've been feeling guilty about worshipping for the sake of salvation vs. for the sake of pleasing Allah. Can anyone please give me the Islamic opinion on whether we should keep the desire for salvation in our hearts while acting to pleasing Allah?
