The idea is to make things easy to understand for those who seek. That’s what Jesus did with his stories if not his parables. He spoke to the common man with common references to familiar objects and structures. Even when he spoke in riddles He used common language and structures.
As for taking up one’s cross daily, if you combine it with “My yoke is easy and my burden is light” which must also be true, the thought I get is that a person should daily be about advancing their christian faith and the kingdom of God through prayer, study, works of love and compassion as well as seeking to find and grow the special gifts that the Spirit has given each individual follower of Christ. Like Nehemiah on the Jerusalem wall build your spiritual life brick by brick, lay the foundations, and set up its gates and become a city on a hill that lights the way for others. The point, I think, is to simply be about being a Christian every day. That’s not so hard, eh?
