I think the opposite of hubris is called nemesis, or what happens after hubris. I'd say the OP is describing humility, a quality which is essential imho

  I think you may be right, however, Hubris is a "feeling" while nemesis is an "Agent". So, it is possible for you to be my nemesis, but you can't be my hubris. Humility vs Hubris do seem to be opposites.

    Good point about agent versus feeling. If my Greek friend is a reliable reference, the words originated in Greek mythology wherein a human acting in hubris would be punished by the gods, the punishment was called nemesis.
