To quote Karl Marx, “practice is the criterion of truth”. Observe reality (as opposed to what’s inside your skull), see if it matches what you believe it is, experiment and check if the outcomes agree with your predictions.
However for certain things, for example those called “values” or “preferences”, the categories of true/untrue are not applicable. Here, the issue is more of considering the consequences of your actions and deciding on the acceptable trade-offs.

“Considering the consequences of your actions and deciding on the acceptable trade-offs”. This should work I think.
