When Effort Isn’t What’s Missing

The engine gets louder as the RPMs climb, but the car isn’t moving.
More activity, more motion. But no movement.

The constraint holding everything back was overlooked.
Until that changes, no amount of throttle will help.

Nothing’s broken. It’s just stuck in neutral.

Sometimes the system isn’t broken.

It’s in the wrong gear.
