Abstract
A motivational phrase assembly includes a housing that is positionable on a support surface. A lid is attached to the housing and the lid has an opening extending therethrough. A dome is movably disposed on the housing, the dome is depressable into a depressed position and the dome is biased into a raised position. A pair of dice is positioned within the dome such that the dice are visible through the dome. Each of the dice has indicia printed thereon and the indicia comprise a plurality of unique motivational phrases. The dice are shaken in the dome when the dome is depressed and subsequently released thereby facilitating random sides of the dice to be displayed. In this way the motivational phrases on the random sides are displayed to the user.
