It shouldn't need to be said that Christianity requires commitment. It's not a part time gig, not a freelance faith, and certainly not just a cool novelty you can pick up as and when you want. Christianity actually requires the denial of the self. We must put off our old nature, and "take up our cross daily".
Alas, we're still in the flesh. We still live in the world, even if we are called to no longer be of the world, and as a result, we still have worldly distractions. For one man Jesus encountered, the biggest distraction was his wealth. He had many worldly possessions, and so was not ready to give up all and follow Christ. Heavenly treasure was not as important to him as his earthly treasures.
Compare that to Elisha. When it came time to follow Elijah, Elisha was not poor by any stretch of the imagination. He effectively had an "exit strategy". If serving Elijah became too difficult, he would have had a comfortable existence to return to. But what did he do with it? He burned it. He slaughtered his herd, and using his farm equipment as fuel for the fire, he made food, and fed the people. With no distractions, Elisha was fully committed to His own calling.
There may be many things distracting you from living a fruitful Christian life. We may not need to go so far as burning everything we own, but the message from scripture is clear. Jesus is worth more than all of it. If you have to make a choice between Jesus and anything that is not Jesus, it should be a no brainer.
