Ultimately even the good things we do, usually have some misplaced motives.
For example 1 Corinthians 13 starts with:
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing."
In other words we have to have right motivation as well as actions, but yes I do think there can be small good, but it is so insignificant as to not matter when compared to God's standard.
