When you pick up your own Cross and follow Jesus with your whole heart, things that are not like Him have to fall down. When you follow Him, the mess that follows you has to fall off because "He that is in me is greater than He that is in the world". 1 John 4:4
Also, when you pick up your Cross you have to deny yourself. It is not longer about what "I" want or how "I" feel. It's all about what God wants for us. Don't allow your flesh to overtake your spirit because the spirit and flesh are always at war.
This paragraph from http://www.sermoncentral.com/ "Take up your Cross" explains taking up your cross.
"When Jesus spoke of the cross He spoke of death: dying to ourselves that we might follow Christ wherever He leads us. He is a picture of literally giving everything up for Him even our lives. Remember Jesus in the Garden saying, “not my will but thine will be done.?"
"And he personally bore our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we might be dead to sin and be alive to all that is good." 1 Pet 2:24
