To take up your cross and follow Jesus means, among other things, to deny yourself. This is certainly not a popular message. We don't want to hear what we can do to serve the Lord; we want to hear what the Lord can do to serve us. The Lord Jesus said if you aren't willing to surrender all and live for something other than and greater than your own pleasures and comforts, you cannot be His disciple.
