It's actually quiet easy to follow Christ when He is the focus. The difficulty comes when we want our own way and desire popularity with people, then we become fixated on that rather than on Christ and His principles.
Matthew 11:28-30
"28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Notice God doesn't say there is NO burden, but He does say that it is LIGHT.
Take your eyes off of people and place them on Christ, then we are able to walk alone when we are rejected because of Him.
Put your eyes on the world and you will be accepting many sinful things to be appreciated by people.
Take the high road, reject sin, stand against it, speak truth and walk with Christ every day. When we are diverted during weak times, confess it and go on to do differently, following Him again.
