Yes I believe you are confusing the universe with actions that aren't congruent with your intentions.

I have just read a book called "The Go-Giver" that details the 5 Laws of Success.

The Law of Receptivity states that the key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving. If receiving makes you feel uncomfortable you may have a limiting belief around money you are not consciously aware of.

I agree with moonrambler's comment - when receiving money, focus on something generous that will come out of you manifesting your goals because of the money that has flowed to you.
