<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'm in a LDR (long distant relationship) and have been for about a year now. My girlfriend is incredibly sweet, loving, caring, and selfless. I love her for being who she is and when she's being genuine and confident, she's the most BEAUTIFUL individual I've ever seen. However, she often has problems with insecurities (with good reason, seeing how her last BF cheated on her a bunch of times).

Regardless, it comes down to this. I LOVE my job. I LOVE what I do in school, and the activities I partake in. I share them with her every day and I can't wait for my future. On the other hand, my GF isn't very passionate about her future. She loves to party and drink, and she loves family, and she can talk about it all day with smiles on her face, but not much else. She loves dancing and she pursues it just a little.

To put it short, I see such AMAZING things in her, and she knows that I do. I often ask her about what she wants to do and what she wants to be, but she gets really defensive and quiet when I do. She gets bothered when I ask her about her future in general. Other than that, she's generally very energetic!
<bot>: How can I help motivate her to put less effort into things that I know are less important to her well-being and more on things I know will help her be stronger as a person?
