Well the good thing for you is this is not what Biblical Christianity teaches.
It says none are 'Good'/Righteous of their own doing period.
That True Righteousness is only of God.
That True righteousness is the requirement to be with God.
That True righteousness is not earned by our deeds, it is a gift that we need only to accept.
That makes our 'good deed' a gift/expression of our love for God.
