What does this sentence mean? I am having a hard time understanding it. The major problem is with the use of these two words- Never and Deliberate. Please help 🙏 "Never deliberate on your word, but let it go, as the arrow goes to the target- let it strike and stand." - Henry Ward Beecher

Here, "deliberate" is a verb, pronounced /dÉȘˈlÉȘb.ə.reÉȘt/ with the main stress on the second syllable and a secondary stress on the fourth syllable (unlike the adjective: /dÉȘˈlÉȘb.ər.ət/). From the Cambridge Dictionary: to think or talk seriously and carefully about something: The jury took five days to deliberate on the case. The committee has deliberated the question at great length. [ + question word ] He's deliberating whether or not to accept the new job that he's been offered.

As phil points out, DELIBERATE is used as a verb here. She is basically saying don't question yourself too much. Don't be afraid to speak your mind.

I could be wrong but what I've understood here is that the Quoter is telling not to be conscious or too much thinkful to your words. just be spontaneous!
