Those who try to stop sinning and do good works as a means to obtain salvation will be burdened down by this, as we know no one will be justified by the works of the law, but however if we refuse are flesh becoming sinless out of love and appreciation for our Savior, then His commandment will not be burdensome to us.
Are you burdened?

Jesus said:
Jesus came to give us freedom from burdens.
Matthew 11:28
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
and of the lawyers and experts in jewish religion: They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden. 5 “Everything they do is for show. Matthew 23 :4-5

we are able to do what Paul said becaiuse we have faith, we have faith because jesus drew us to him first by being lifted up and by taking our sins away and giving us a light yoke.
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.

You did not quote the whole verse, this is what is says...
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
I bet you don't like hearing that we can have a besetting sin that we have to lay aside. This verse has nothing to do with perfection but a race. The instructions here is not to repent of his besetting sin but simply to lay it aside, as you would do with your coat when you put it off. No godly sorrow and no repentance, just put it aside and get it off you because it is hindering you in the race you are in.
We all have besetting sins that hinder us and if I spent enough time with you I would be able to find out just what those besetting sins would be, because they would hinder you and drag you to the sidelines and you would stop running the race set before you until you decided to lay it aside. This is why we are to provoke one another unto love and good works. You know why we can never be perfect experientially in this body, because the whole head is sick and our heart is deceitful an desperately wicked.
Jesus said that even if you look upon a woman and lust after her, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart. If it is true with the opposite sex, I wonder what else it would be true about in relationship to sin in the heart without ever committing it outwardly. These sins of the heart would have to be confessed just as the outward ones would be and you would have to be confessed up to date with these sins also before you take the bread and drink the cup, less you do it unworthily.

Let me put it this way. If we yoke ourselves together with Jesus and let Him carry the burden we will not have to carry it ourselves.
Matthew 11
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.
Matthew 11
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.
Red if i lay ANY sin aside...Jesus comes and TAKES it away as far as the east is from the west. And I cannot get that coat again, And so i lay aside ALL my clothes to appear NAKED in front of Him and HE WILL CLOTHE me with CLORHES that is no burdensome, in fact those clothes makes me SOAR! Jesus says he will CLEANSE ME OF ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS... That means ALL SIN, and EVIL! What an salvation Jesus offers! It is so Good, even GOD APPROVES... The salvation is IN JESUS, AND HIM IN ME...AND THEIR IS NO SIN IN THAT PICTURE...ONLY PERFECTION.
Please look at this... JESUS IN ME< ME IN JESUS... WHERE IS SATAN IN THIS PICTURE?

(9) There remaineth therefore a rest (G4520) to the people of God.

From a derivative of G4521; a “sabbatism”, that is, (figuratively) the repose of Christianity (as a type of heaven): - rest.
